“Spine-Tingling Deep-Sea Creatures” series marks its 10th beloved installment! Fan-favorite deep-sea creatures from past releases are all here! At Sunshine Aquarium, the event that unravels the mysteries of deep-sea creatures, “ゾクゾク深海生物2026 これまでの歩み,” will be held. The “deep sea” refers to ocean areas deeper than 200 meters. There are very few opportunities to see the deep-sea creatures that live there alive, and many people may feel it is like a distant world. To convey the appeal of deep-sea creatures, Sunshine Aquarium has held the “ゾクゾク深海生物” series every winter since 2017, exhibiting enigmatic deep-sea creatures and explaining the features of bodies (parts) that evolved to survive the harsh deep-sea environment, as well as their unique and mysterious ecologies. Marking the memorable 10th installment, this time the theme is “これまでの歩み,” and the highlight creatures and exhibits from past editions will be unveiled all at once!

100% Sweden! An exhibition bringing together masterpieces of Swedish painting. This exhibition offers a full-fledged introduction to paintings from the golden age of Swedish art, which have drawn global attention in recent years. With the full cooperation of the Nationalmuseum, Sweden, it approaches the uniquely Nordic sensibility of living richly in harmony with nature through captivating paintings created in Sweden from the late 19th to the early 20th century. This will be the first special exhibition commemorating a milestone year for the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026. [Highlights of the exhibition] 1. 100% Sweden!—Exploring the uniquely Nordic sensibility of living richly with nature All works on display are by Swedish artists. The works express Sweden’s austere yet abundant nature and a warm gaze toward everyday life. With the keywords “Nature,” “Light,” and “The Radiance of the Everyday,” visitors will sense in the works the roots of the wellbeing-oriented lifestyle that characterizes Sweden today. 2. The gaze of artists who pioneered new forms of expression In the latter half of the 19th century, Swedish painters sought subjects that expressed their nation’s identity and methods of expression worthy of them. Moving away from the Realism and Naturalism they had studied in France, they forged distinctive approaches that emphasized personal emotion and lyrical atmosphere. This exhibition focuses on works from the 1880s to 1915, considered the golden age of Swedish art. 3. An exhibition dedicated to Swedish painting that has recently been attracting worldwide attention! In recent years, large-scale exhibitions have been held in countries such as France and the United States, and Swedish painting has been drawing international attention. With the full cooperation of the Nationalmuseum, Sweden, this exhibition brings together masterpieces of Swedish painting, including works by national painter Carl Larsson and by August Strindberg, also known as a playwright. Through a collection impressive in both quality and quantity, it presents fresh allure in Nordic art.

The first-ever large-scale exhibition spanning the entire Ghost in the Shell anime series, 'Ghost in the Shell Exhibition: Ghost and the Shell', will be held at Toranomon Hills 「TOKYO NODE」! With the full cooperation of Production I.G—the studio behind the animation of successive entries since the 1995 theatrical release 『GHOST IN THE SHELL/攻殻機動隊』—and Science SARU, which is producing a new anime slated to air in 2026, this exhibition takes Masamune Shirow’s 1989 original as its starting point and surveys every work in the anime series. It is the first large-scale exhibition in the series’ history that lets visitors traverse 30 years of Ghost in the Shell. In addition to works by successive directors such as Mamoru Oshii, Kenji Kamiyama, Kazuya Kise, and Shinji Aramaki, the exhibition also plans to showcase pieces related to the new anime by Science SARU scheduled for 2026. Visitors can appreciate and compare the distinctive themes and worlds of each work. During the exhibition period, a wide array of exhibition-exclusive original goods will also be on sale. Don’t miss special items available only here. The exhibition is also scheduled to tour overseas, so keep an eye on new developments as Ghost in the Shell expands worldwide. This is an unprecedented exhibition where anime, technology, and art converge. Take this opportunity to pay a visit. 《Highlights》 ◆ Tracing the origins of the entire series — Over 600 archival items, including previously unreleased materials — We will present more than 600 valuable materials produced throughout the making of the Ghost in the Shell series—ranging from a vast number of key drawings and setting materials to storyboards—including items never before made public. Through numerous archives and director-specific interviews premiering at this exhibition, you can compare and experience the sources of each installment while getting a feel for the reality of the production floor. This is a rare chance to witness the creative site of Ghost in the Shell—captivating even for those who aren’t yet fans. ◆ Unearthing the future from the depths of information — An immersive, full-body experience — We plan immersive installations and interactive, hands-on exhibits unique to TOKYO NODE. Also screening are valuable interview videos that interpret the series’ story from each director’s perspective, offering new viewpoints on Ghost in the Shell you may not have known. A particular highlight is the “DIGる（ディグル）” exhibit, where visitors themselves access the world and vast troves of information of Ghost in the Shell to unearth hints for the future. It is a one-of-a-kind exhibit that invites you to delve deep into the series’ worldview and decode it with both thought and the senses. ◆ A place where “past and present” intersect — Redefining “What is human?” — This exhibition is not merely for viewing; through each experiential display it seeks to overlay the future envisioned and questioned by Ghost in the Shell with changes in the real world, becoming a place where every visitor can encounter “their own Ghost in the Shell.” Furthermore, it reexamines the universal question Ghost in the Shell has consistently posed—“What is a human?”—from the perspective of contemporary cutting-edge technologies such as AI and BMI (Brain–Machine Interfaces). By unraveling the relationship between “GHOST” and “SHELL,” it offers visitors the opportunity to move between “past and present” and reconsider their own existence. ◆ 'Ghost in the Shell' Another Perspective - A Co-creative Project with Creators Around the World - During the exhibition period, we plan to present installation displays co-created with contemporary artists and creators active in Japan and abroad who have been influenced by 'Ghost in the Shell.' This will be a valuable opportunity to experience firsthand the impact and diversity that 'Ghost in the Shell' has had on creators around the world. ◆ In addition to original merchandise, an original shop unique to this crossover exhibition Along with original merchandise exclusive to this exhibition, we will open an original shop made possible precisely because it is a crossover exhibition. Enjoy a special shopping experience available only here. ※ Please check the official website for details.

This official exhibition will be held at Terada Warehouse G1 in Tokyo to mark the historic milestones of the 100th anniversary of Gaudí’s death and the completion of the Sagrada Família’s main “Tower of Jesus.” Having received an official offer from the Gaudí Foundation, NAKED has become the first in the world to sign an official licensing agreement with the foundation. Under this collaboration, the exhibition brings together, for the first time, previously unreleased collections of high scholarly value, including original drawings of the Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s personal notes and handwritten letters, and the tools he used. It is the first time in the world that so many items from the foundation’s holdings are exhibited simultaneously.

In advance of “Hokusai and Eisen: A Contest of Allure — Kabukicho in Full Bloom” Shinjuku Kabukicho Shunga Exhibition WA, Vol. 2, we will hold “Small Love Stories — The World of Mameban Shunga” Shinjuku Kabukicho Shunga Exhibition WA, Bridge Edition from Saturday, February 14, 2026 to Sunday, March 15, 2026. This exhibition will present approximately 200 mameban shunga from the collection of Mitsuru Uragami, director of Uragami Sōkyūdō. We introduce intimate and humorous love stories contained within palm-sized images. “Mameban shunga” are small multicolor woodblock prints—namely, nishiki‑e shunga—printed at a palm size. The standard size is about 9 cm tall × 12.3 cm wide, and many were originally sold in sets of twelve in a pouch. Their charming size and accessible price made them beloved by many, from commoners to daimyo. In the Edo period, apart from the shogunate‑approved calendars, there was a culture of distributing private picture calendars called “Daisho” at New Year, like greeting cards. Inspired by that playful spirit, the shunga “Daisho,” and then mameban shunga, are thought to have been born. Among the works on view, if you look closely, there are pieces that incorporate devices as “Daisho／egoyomi,” so please try to find them. Who drew them, where were they printed? In fact, many mysteries still surround mameban shunga. But precisely because of that, perhaps we can face the pictures themselves directly, free from names and titles. Step right up—let us guide you into “Small Love Stories”! Through “mameban shunga,” small, casual, and intimate, please enjoy a moment of getting much closer to shunga.
