- NAKED meets Nijo Castle 2026
400 years since the Kan'ei Imperial Visit—to the 'cutting edge' of 400 years ago.
Tour Nijo Castle with the 'aesthetic sensibility' that colored the world 400 years ago. An immersive art exhibition that unravels Kan'ei culture through 'Japanese design.'
Marking the 400th anniversary of the 'Kan'ei Imperial Visit,' one of the largest cultural events of the Edo period, this exhibition unravels the aesthetics of Kan'ei culture—which dramatically evolved the 'Japanese design culture' that connects to the present day, such as in kimonos and lifestyle designs—through art.
Through the aesthetics and sensibilities of Tokugawa Masako, a central figure of Kan'ei culture, the creativity and thought behind traditional beauty are reconstructed as art pieces. In addition to intuitive immersive art appreciation, Japanese and English audio guides are available to delve deeper into the origins and stories of the culture. Enjoy a special moment to encounter new charms of traditional beauty and touch the aesthetic sense passed down through time.
