“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! To allow more people to visit, the event period will be extended compared with previous years. The series will be held on its largest scale ever, with events where you can taste “深海汁” made using underutilized deep-sea fish*, events where you can touch deep-sea fish you rarely see, and talk shows featuring deep-sea enthusiasts including comedian Masaaki Hirai of “男性ブランコ.” In the heart of the city, at the rooftop aquarium of a building in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, why not experience up close the allure of deep-sea creatures that otherwise feel so distant? 【POINT】 ◆ A one-stop showcase of past headline deep-sea creatures and exhibits! Popular deep-sea creatures such as ミドリフサアンコウ and アカザエビ will be exhibited. In addition, we will attempt deep-sea collection during the event period, and the collected organisms are planned to be displayed in special tanks inside the facility. Furthermore, lavish exhibits will also be revealed at once, including the world’s only plastination specimen of “ヨコヅナイワシ” and a frozen specimen of the potentially new species “白いソコボウズ（仮称）”! ◆ Hands-on events where you can touch deep-sea creatures The popular backstage tour where you can touch live deep-sea organisms and frozen specimens will be held, along with “深海魚タッチ,” an event where you can touch deep-sea creatures caught by bottom trawling. ◆ Enjoy “深海汁” made with underutilized deep-sea fish! 2,000 yen per fish!? To commemorate the 10th edition, you might even get to taste the premium ingredient “アカザエビ”! “深海汁,” which previously gained popularity for letting you savor deep-sea creatures down to the bone marrow. This time, “深海汁” made with underutilized fish collected during deep-sea expeditions will be served. ◆ “深海トーク”: deep conversations about the deep sea after closing We will host a deep-sea talk show featuring noted figures synonymous with deep-sea life, including comedian Masaaki Hirai of “男性ブランコ.” 【Interactive Content】 ◆ ゾクゾク深海ツアー The “Exploration Guide Tour,” in which keepers guide you through the normally off-limits backstage while sharing stories about the animals, will be offered once per day in a special deep-sea version! To commemorate the 10th installment, the content will differ between the first and second halves. In the first half, “ゾクゾクタッチ” will be held where you can touch live deep-sea creatures, and in the second half, you can touch frozen specimens of rare deep-sea creatures.

NAKED delves into the genius architect “Gaudí” who built the Sagrada Família — Gaudí’s personal notes and other treasured collections unveiled to the world for the first time! 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. Furthermore, the latest research through graphological analysis explores Gaudí’s inner world and innovative thinking. This is an exhibition that interprets Gaudí from a new perspective, fusing scholarship and experience. At this exhibition, through participatory art enjoyable for both adults and children, visitors can experience the appeal of Gaudí’s architecture. In an experience where visitors help complete part of the Sagrada Família, you can feel that this building—also a symbol of “incompleteness”—is still being built by many hands today. It is a display where you can sense, with your hands and sensibilities, the world of harmony with nature that Gaudí envisioned.

Invisible measurements hidden in everyday life We live surrounded by invisible measurements.

The “Invisible Measurements Exhibition,” organized by Azbil, is a special exhibition that shines a light on such measurements that blend into our daily lives.
