Rendered as graphical digital artworks through 3DCG animation and projection mapping, they invited visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in the world of ukiyo-e across nine three-dimensional visual spaces.

Photography and video recording were permitted throughout the venue, so visitors were free to capture the fantastical world of ukiyo-e as they explored it.
