“Y. T. Invisible Hand” is a wordplay on Adam Smith’s “The Invisible Hand,” which refers to Smith’s idea that “the pursuit of individual interests can unintentionally bring about public wealth,” and “the pursuit of individual expression can unintentionally come under the influence of Tomino,” which this exhibition will examine from various angles.
Yoshiyuki Tomino is a famous director of TV animation programs who directed many robot animations such as “Mobile Suit Gundam”, “Space Runaway Ideon”, “Xabungule”, “Aura Battler Dunbine” and “Gundam Reconguista in G”. Tomino’s originality and ingenuity in the field of commercial animation for children has given birth to many Tomino Children and has had an immeasurable impact not only in Japan but all over the world. His production method was groundbreaking in that it considered animation as a moving paper “play”.
Looking back at Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations” - formally known as “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” - the key term of the Wealth of Nations theory is the “social division” of the characters in the Tomino animation. The issues of national defense, judicial administration, and public facilities in the fictional government are exactly the same as the structure of the world depicted in the Gundam universe. This exhibition will be an opportunity to experience Smith’s invisible hand through the visual experience of being unexpectedly guided by the director at a young age.
