[Hotel Gajoen Tokyo] Taisho Romanticism x Hyakudan Staircase – A nostalgic world of great writers

2023.02.26

Hotel Gajoen Tokyo will hold “Taisho Roman x Hyakudan Staircase: The Nostalgic World of the Great Writers” from March 25 (Sat) to June 11 (Sun), 2023.

Contemporary illustrators express the masterpieces of the literary giants.

In collaboration with “Otome no Bonshelf” (Rittosha), a series of collaborations in which popular contemporary illustrators add illustrations to masterpieces by great writers, we will exhibit panels with illustrations vividly remixed today by six popular artists who enjoy wide support from a wide range of people.

Staging in a retro architectural setting

The Hyakudan Staircase, a cultural asset, is a different space in which the building itself seems to have slipped back in time. It is a wooden structure that is suitable for recreating the stories spun by great writers from the Meiji to the early Showa periods.

Become a character in the story and immerse yourself in the world of Taisho Romance

Wearing a retro kimono and entering the nostalgic installation art will make you feel as if you were the hero of a story.
