Immersive Ukiyo-e Exhibition Opens at Tenoha Milan with Kimono Experience

From April 4 to June 16, 2024, Tenoha in Milan will host 'UKIYOE: IMMERSIVE ART', a sensory exhibition featuring 3DCG animations and projection mapping by Hitohata. The show, previously successful in Japan, draws on over 300 ukiyo-e works by masters like Hokusai, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Utagawa Hiroshige, and Kitagawa Utamaro. Visitors traverse nine rooms with installations evoking Mount Fuji and torii gates, exploring genres such as bijin-ga, yakusha-e, fukeiga, kacho-ga, and musha-e. A Kimono Experience allows guests to wear traditional attire. Tenoha, a Japanese concept store opened in 2018 in a former industrial building in the Darsena district, has previously hosted immersive shows on samurai women, ghosts, and robots. Concurrently, Rome's Palazzo Braschi presents 'Il mondo fluttuante. Ukiyoe. Visioni dal Giappone' until June 23, 2024, curated by Rossella Menegazzo, featuring 150 masterpieces from the Museo Chiossone and Museo delle Civiltà, including Hokusai's Great Wave. Turin's Palazzo Barolo will host 'Shinanga' from March 8 to June 30, 2024, focusing on the early 20th-century shin-hanga movement. The Museo Chiossone in Genoa, which reopened last summer, holds Italy's largest Japanese art collection.
