You can interact and talk directly with producers and writers that you would not normally be able to talk to. Both business negotiations and the general public who are interested in culture are welcome. ・In addition to KIMONO, there was a wide lineup of traditional performing arts performed wearing KIMONO and art works using KIMONO. 10 Metaverse exhibitions and real events in Kyoto.

Disseminating traditional Japanese culture to the world!
Creating a place for “creating new traditions” to find new value and pass it on to the future
Expect new collaborations through many experiences and exchanges ・Disseminate the present state of various traditional Japanese culture, including KIMONO, to the world and have them become future users.
・Using the Metaverse, we will promote cultural exchange and
dissemination through new communication and networks.
Participation by avatars, in particular, is said to be able to bring out the “diversity” of people’s personalities and thought modes, and can encourage participants to make new discoveries.
・Discover new values of traditional Japanese culture and industries together with participants.
Tradition does not simply boast of the length of continuous years, but it has universality while constantly encountering and incorporating innovation, and has the value that human beings should maintain regardless of region or generation. It continues.
We hope that new collaborations and innovations will occur through this exhibition.
I hope that the participants will not only watch as recipients, but also actively interact and send messages.
