Special Exhibition "Your Future, Your Future Self - A journey into picture books with Satoshi Kako"

You, living in the 21st century. Your guide is waiting for you to stop and talk about how we will live in the future. Let's think about you and the world with Mr. Kako who is our guide.
In this exhibition, we will look back on the history of our existence from the time of evolution and look at the present state of humanity which was created by "human behavior." We will think about what lies beyond and our place in the future as we convey the bright vision which cutting-edge science foresees.
