More than 130 works from his Tokyo studios tell the story of global animation and entertainment. From Tatsunoko to Final Fantasy, passing through Vogue; a journey made of pure visual and narrative art that brings different generations together in one place.

A scenic setup in four sections, enriched with objects and films, will lead you to discover techniques, visions, forms, and iconic works now imprinted in the collective imagination.

The exhibition was conceived and produced by Lucca Comics & Games with the curation of Fabio Viola; exhibition design by PoliDesign by Politecnico di Milano.
