A black body like this train is not very common, and so people are curious about it. But what is striking is not just the exterior and colors.
The fastest art gallery in the world
GENBI SHINKANSEN was developed in order to allow passengers view modern art while on the move. The 6-car bullet train will exhibit various items, from paintings, sculptures, and photography.

The exhibit includes works by art unit paramodel, photographer Naoki Ishikawa, and artist Haruka Kojin. The exterior features a design by photographer Mika Ninagawa; which is reminiscent of fireworks in Nagaoka, Niigata.
