“The festival aims to further the possibilities of art within society by developing content such as art installations, music, performances, and talk events throughout the entire city of Roppongi, a place known for its assembly of cultural facilities (including art museums), large scale complexes, and shopping districts,” according to an official statement.

The main artist featured at the event will be Takashi Murakami, along with  Madsaki, Aya Takano, Chiho Aoshima, Emi Kuraya and Kasing Lung.

Central to the exhibition is comic book character Doraemon, which Murakami defines as “incredibly important” in Japan.

“Just as Mickey Mouse is for America, Doraemon is an iconic character for Asia. This is why I have been collaborating with Doraemon as an emblem of Japan,” he shared in a statement.

There are four main venues that the work will be presented at.
