Experience the Origins of Manga and Anime at Hokusai Exhibition
From September 13 (Saturday) to November 30 (Sunday), 2025, CREATIVE MUSEUM TOKYO in Kyobashi, Tokyo, will host "HOKUSAI – All by His Hand Exhibition."
This groundbreaking exhibition features a new curatorial approach that highlights works containing elements that can be considered the origins of modern manga and anime expressions, such as "speed lines," "comedic depictions," and "animation-style drawings." Visitors can experience Hokusai's "handiwork" from 200 years ago through an exhibition featuring over 300 works.
Currently, special limited tickets with merchandise and advance tickets (200 yen cheaper than day-of tickets) are on sale!
The exhibition will also feature various limited merchandise in collaboration with popular brands that can be enjoyed alongside the exhibition. Additionally, a themed cafe packed with Hokusai's charm is planned to appear on the same floor as the exhibition venue.
Look forward to the opening on September 13 (Saturday)!

Themed Cafe
A themed cafe inspired by the concept "What if Hokusai opened a restaurant?" will be implemented. This will be a limited-time opening during the exhibition period.
The café menu features a variety of creative and photogenic dishes: soba noodles inspired by waves and Mount Fuji, a unique blue omurice, and daifuku whose flavors and colors change as you eat. Each item is designed with a playful imagination—What if Hokusai had been a soba shop owner? A Western-style chef? A daifuku maker?—bringing his spirit into food in inventive and diverse ways.
Details about the themed cafe will be introduced later on the exhibition official website.
