[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.

[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.
