The aquarium is located on the 7th floor of the same building as NTT Cred Hall (11F, Motomachi Cred Passera), the venue for the “Ukiyoe Immersive Art Exhibition HIROSHIMA”.

We will be holding a collaborative event at the Hiroshima Motomachi Aquarium located in the same building as the NTT Cred Hall—the venue for the “Ukiyoe Immersive Art Exhibition HIROSHIMA”.

Inside the aquarium, we will feature an immersive spatial experience that includes original exclusive videos, alongside an exhibition of actual ukiyoe —such as Utagawa Hiroshige’s “A Collection of Fish: Kanagashira, Leaf Flounder, and Bamboo” and Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s “A Collection of Goldfish” (reprint edition)—both printed during the Edo period, as well as explanatory panels detailing the “marine creatures” depicted in these works.

We invite you to enjoy this collaboration with the “Ukiyoe Immersive Art Exhibition HIROSHIMA” at the Hiroshima Motomachi Aquarium, whose theme is “The Stage of Life.”

Inside the aquarium, we will feature an immersive spatial experience that includes original exclusive videos, allowing visitors to experience the connection between the sea and culture of the Edo period depicted in ukiyoe created exclusively for this collaborative event, alongside an exhibition of actual ukiyoe —such as Utagawa Hiroshige’s “A Collection of Fish: Kanagashira, Leaf Flounder, and Bamboo” and Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s “A Collection of Goldfish” (reprint edition)—both printed during the Edo period, as well as explanatory panels detailing the “marine creatures” depicted in these works.

WELCOME - Ukiyo-e in “JAPAN BLUE” That Stretches Endlessly

In this space, ukiyo-e prints—including Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa—that depict beautiful shades of indigo extend endlessly across the ceiling, floor, and walls through mirror reflections. Please enjoy this immersive experience, where you can fully immerse yourself in an overwhelming sense of scale that makes the waves seem to surge toward you in three dimensions.

CORAL - A ukiyo-e world brimming with the atmosphere of Edo and teeming with life

In this space, ukiyo-e depictions of bustling Edo-era streams and cityscapes, as well as portraits of beautiful women by the sea and images of fish, come to life on the walls and floors. We present a diverse “stage of life” where living creatures, nature, and culture converge. We invite you to enjoy this “space where the sea and culture merge,” where you can immerse yourself in the world of ukiyo-e.
