We will play a game, on a life-size board, that shows what it takes to create the ideal city. It is about imagination, creation and trade ̶ as movement. No city can exist without the exchange of ideas, hopes and emotions. But no exchange can happen without the inhabitants. They make the city move.
For this workshop we will guide participants in creating their imagined city, through trade. Together we will build the ideal Roppongi.

A performance piece in which an enormous structure will be brought into a designated space.
“When an object that is rather large and cumbersome is brought into a small space, the weight and the shape of the object appear to be controlling the body that is carrying the object. In that sense, the object could be described as a drama that has materialized. You could also say that the person carrying the object is an actor and make a strong argument that, therefore, this is a piece of theatre.”

People will ride in a spherical object, three meters in diameter and made of bamboo, creating a parade atmosphere as they roll around Midtown. After performing this work where he rolled from the top to the bottom of a hill in the village of Azamihira in Niigata, it has become an established event in the village, held every year at Obon.

During the latter half of the Edo period, microscopes, telescopes and other optical devices imported from abroad overturned thinking about vision in Japan. This exhibition introduces the new visual effects – from Western-style linear perspective and bird’s-eye view images to mirror-reflected images and shadow pictures – that revolutionized 18th- and 19th-century Japanese painting through the work of Hokusai, Hiroshige, Shiba Kokan and other artists.

Awareness of light and shadow increased during the late Edo period, giving rise to a large number of works that have light and shadow as their theme. Among them were kage-e (shadow paintings), which have been enjoyed throughout many generations. At this workshop, we welcome musician and kage-e artist Kawamura Koheisai as instructor to rediscover the wonderful world of light and shadow as we all move our bodies together.

Rice is a very familiar and also indispensable part of everyday life in Japan. Many facets of Japanese culture evolved in conjunction with the history of rice cultivation, as the food culture became increasingly rice-based. This exhibition takes a fresh look at rice, a foodstuff that is one of the foundations of Japanese culture. We hope it will compel visitors to ponder what the future looks like for rice in Japan.
Gallery tour of “KOME:
The Art of Rice” with Okumura Fumie
A gallery tour conducted by Okumura Fumie (of Foodelco, Inc.) who collaborated in the planning of the exhibition. Enjoy seeing exhibits and listening to the multi-dimensional stories of rice.

PechaKucha, a platform for information sharing among a variety of people, will be held again this year. Set in the same venue as the “KOME: The Art of Rice” exhibition, PechaKucha is an opportunity to come into contact with artists and make new discoveries. Although a part of our everyday lives, rice is still surrounded by unknown mysteries. This year, as part of a special project, a number of people who have “penetrated” the world of rice will take the podium.
The area centered on Roppongi Crossing and the surrounding Roppongi Shopping Streets. Community-oriented events and more make this zone a place for mingling.
