I bet our visitors have expected a lot from taking pictures in the exhibition venue. Of course, we welcome everyone to take pictures and have fun during the exhibition. But before you press the capture button, you may think about the other roles that your smartphones can play during this exhibition.

As a stubborn fan of Junji Ito for nearly 20 years, we’ve seen darkness in our hearts, reflections on human nature and artistic beauty through his comic works. We try to deconstruct Ito’s world from perspectives different from normal types of comic exhibitions.

Please put aside your imaginations about horror! During this exhibition, besides horror, you will also realize the arts beneath horror and converse with Junji Ito.

We welcome every one of you to bring memories of your nightmares to the exhibition.
