Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto will hold the first exhibition event, Kotonari Kyoto, this year, in March. The concept of the event is ai ga entame de bunka o terasu 愛がエンタメで文化を照らす, a literal translation of which would be “love highlights culture through entertainment.”
The exhibition will start on Thursday, 18th of March, and will feature the world of Tick-Tock, the picture book by Akihiro Nishino. If you're unfamiliar with Tick-Tock, then you may have heard of another picture book of his, Poupelle of Chimney Town, which was adapted into a feature-length animated film by Studio 4°C.
