By focusing on people who are passionate about promoting the mountainous area of Toyama Prefecture and delving into their activities, we will create a video that promotes the charm of the mountainous area through their feelings for the area. Did.
By effectively disseminating information both inside and outside the prefecture, we will make the mountainous areas of Toyama Prefecture attractive and create a “mountainous area of choice” as a place of residence and visit.
Focus on the lives and activities of the people who live in the moving wilderness of Toyama Prefecture. We will introduce each story of the people in the area in the beauty of the image, which is like a scene from a movie.
(1) Yao edition
A skilled woman who trained in Italian cuisine in Osaka and finished second in the world championships returned to her hometown of Toyama and opened in Onagatani. And the woman who set up a sightseeing base in the old city aims to create a lively city. I followed their way of life in the contrast between nature and culture.
(2) Asahi
The couple moved from Shizuoka to Asahi-cho, saying, “In the future, we will not be hired but earn ourselves.” You will feel a great deal of energy from the way you live in the beautiful wilderness and in your own way.
(3) Inami
Inami district, Nanto city, which is famous as a wood carving village. Inami, which has been recognized as a Japanese heritage site and is attracting attention, has a history of building culture with people from outside. In order to create Inami culture 100 years from now, “leave people, not leave things.” We followed their efforts to create a new town by adding “the power to evolve themselves” to the earthen culture.
(4) Himi edition
Himi City has a beautiful Tateyama mountain range over the sea. Young people who emigrated there and started living there. A person who runs a mobile supermarket or community space. We followed the fascinating city that enlivened the area from various directions, such as those who support migration and those who support companies.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024).

The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
