SPECIAL VENUE

OTA AKIHIRO Exhibition — The Animator’s Work of Realizing Images —

March 16, 2026 (Mon) to May 6, 2026 (Holiday/Wed)

Akihiro Ota, who belongs to Toei Animation Co., Ltd. and served as animation director on works such as ”The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe”, will, following the anime production process,

explain the work of an animator. What does he think at the time, what does he look at, what does he draw, and what kinds of ingenuity does he use? Also, how did he develop and refine those skills?

From the unique perspective of an active animator, I put into words the moments when a drawing is imbued with "life."
