This event has ended.

Hyakudan Kaidan, the venue for the exhibition, was built in 1935 and along with Hotel Gajoen has been host to numerous events over its long history. Since 2009, it has been designated a Tokyo Cultural Property for its unusual beauty as an architectural and artistic space. The first exhibition, held in 2015, featured a collaboration between Hyakudan Kaidan and Aomori Nebuta. The second exhibition welcomed an unprecedented 90,000 visitors. This year’s exhibition, the fourth, will feature 63 exhibitors from 35 participating organizations, twice as many as previously. Under the themes “festival”, “art”, “design”, “craftspeople”, and “technology” visitors will be able to enjoy work from the larger than life Aomori Nebuta to Edo Kiriko glass that fits in the palm of the hand.
