Held at the National Art Center, Tokyo in Roppongi, Tokyo, “MANGA City TOKYO: Japan’s Manga, Anime, Game, and Tokusatsu 2020” This exhibition was a homecoming project for “MANGA⇔TOKYO,” which was held in Paris, France in 2018 and drew more than 30,000 visitors. By collaging exhibition archives from La Villette in Paris, scenes of Tokyo, and the elements on display, the overall image of the exhibition was reconstructed. *The exhibition footage was filmed at La Villette (Paris, France).

The joy of playing with miniature cars as a child. We brought that sense of immersion and excitement to the screen by fusing the warmth of handcraft with modern technology. The art direction was built by the director and production team using reclaimed materials. The character and background illustrations were also developed through repeated trial and error, down to the paper quality, printing, and finishing methods, in pursuit of textures that would suit the world of the film. Working with a small crew, we brought AI in as a “partner” for processes beyond our capacity. Rather than using the generated output as-is, we layered it with human touch, warmth, and texture, carefully bringing out the contours of each material. Taking into account the product’s size and structural constraints, we carried out extensive testing in the planning of the direction, aiming to create a cohesive on-set environment.
