2022.05.07

Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki, who has produced many masterpieces with directors Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki.
We look back on his footsteps from his childhood to the present, with 8,800 books and movies.
Please see the secret of the birth of Studio Ghibli from the books at the Museum of Kyoto from Saturday, April 23, 2022.

A room of four and a half mats, which is reproduced by interweaving a little “ideal” with the memory of Suzuki producer’s boyhood.
As a boy, Suzuki producer said that he didn’t throw away manga magazines, stored them all in his room, and read them when he had free time.
Feel like you’ve slipped back in time from 2022 to the 1950s.
From here, the journey to touch the secret of the birth of Studio Ghibli begins.

"What did producer Toshio Suzuki do?"

Most of Studio Ghibli’s works were born from casual conversations between Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and producer Suzuki.
And Suzuki producer has played many roles in order to deliver the created work to many people.
You can follow that trajectory.

No-Face is quietly reading in the middle of the condensed space, as if looking into the head of Mr. Suzuki, who has sent out many masterpieces.
This room has the motif of Mr. Suzuki’s hideout, a brick shop, and shows 8,800 books that shaped Mr. Suzuki’s past.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
