“Giant Robots” — The core of Japanese Mecha Anime Exhibition at Yokosuka Museum of Art
Embark on an exciting journey into the world of Japanese mecha anime with the Giant Robots Exhibition at the Yokosuka Museum of Art! Celebrating 60 years since the debut of the first giant robot anime, “Tetsujin 28-go,” this exhibition runs from February 10 (Saturday) to April 7 (Sunday) and explores the unique history of design and visual representation. Don’t miss this unprecedented showcase!
This exhibition explores the evolution of giant robots’ design and visual representation in Japanese animation, prompting the question, “What defines a giant robot?” Animated robots, commonly known as “mecha” in Japan, have become integral to the country’s popular culture. The seamless integration of life-sized fictional robots, like the “Moving Gundam” in Yokohama, into major Japanese cities’ everyday landscapes is particularly noteworthy.
