What is NAKED meets Nijo Castle 2026?


'NAKED meets Nijo Castle 2026' is an immersive art exhibition held at night at
the World Heritage site, Nijo Castle. Commemorating the 400th anniversary of
the 'Kanei Gyoko'—a grand event in 1626 where Tokugawa Hidetada and Iemitsu
welcomed Emperor Go-Mizunoo to Nijo Castle, considered one of the largest
cultural events of the Edo period—this exhibition explores the aesthetics of
Kanei culture, which dramatically evolved the 'Japanese design culture' that
continues to influence modern life, such as kimono and daily aesthetics,
through art.


What can you do at NAKED meets Nijo Castle 2026?


As you explore areas such as the Karamon Gate, the inner moat, and the kitchen
garden, you can immerse yourself in projection mapping on historical buildings
and spatial performances featuring light, sound, and scent. Based on the
aesthetics and sensibilities of Tokugawa Masako, a central figure of Kanei
culture, the creativity behind traditional beauty is reconstructed as art. In
addition to intuitive art appreciation, the exhibition also provides Japanese
and English audio guides that allow you to delve deeper into the origins and
stories of this culture.
