The Yokai Immersive Experience Exhibition TOKYO Imagination of Japan is currently open at the Terada Warehouse G1 Building in Shinagawa, Tokyo, running through June 28, 2026. The exhibition animates Japan's rich yokai tradition using 3DCG, projection mapping, and holographic screens, making it the world's first immersive digital art museum dedicated to yokai.
Drawing on yokai artwork from the Edo and Meiji periods — including scrolls such as "Hyakki Yako Emaki" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), "Hyakumonogatari" (One Hundred Ghost Stories), and depictions of oni, tengu, kappa, and tsukumogami — the exhibition uses state-of-the-art digital technology to set these classic images in dynamic motion, while three-dimensional sculptures recreate the yokai world in striking physical form.
The exhibition also explores the cultural and historical context of yokai, presented with support from the Iwase Bunko Library in Nishio City (Japan's first museum of old books) and the Yokai Art Museum on Shodoshima Island. Visitors can view actual ukiyo-e woodblock prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi alongside rare yokai paintings, satirical drawings, and artworks from the Edo and Meiji eras — with accompanying explanations tracing how yokai have evolved from ancient mythology into modern pop culture.
Highlights
Immersive 3D Digital Space
Using 3DCG, projection mapping, and holographic screens, the exhibition creates a three-dimensional visual environment where yokai come dramatically alive. Visitors can take photos and videos alongside the yokai characters, or step inside a yokai emaki scroll to experience the sensation of entering another world.
Life-Size Yokai Sculptures
Beyond the digital displays, physically sculpted yokai — including oni, tengu, kappa, and tsukumogami — inhabit the real space. The combination of detailed three-dimensional craftsmanship and immersive staging lets visitors appreciate the textures and expressions of each figure up close.
Learning About Yokai Culture
Rare yokai paintings, satirical illustrations, and artwork from the Edo and Meiji periods are displayed with detailed explanations of the cultural and historical roots of Japan's yokai tradition, exploring how these characters connect to modern pop culture.
Fun for All Ages
Interactive digital art experiences and playful content keep younger visitors engaged, while seating areas are available throughout so senior visitors can enjoy the exhibition comfortably. Exhibition content is primarily non-verbal and intuitive, with explanatory panels in both Japanese and English.
