Visual Museum Exhibition 'What is Stop-Motion? - The Secrets of Stop-Motion Animation' to be Held Starting May 2, 2026

The SKIP City Saitama Prefecture Visual Plaza Visual Museum (Kawaguchi City) will host the exhibition 'What is Stop-Motion? - The Secrets of Stop-Motion Animation.' In recent years, the term 'Koma-dori' (frame-by-frame shooting) has become a familiar word, but its formal name is 'stop-motion animation,' which has continued to surprise and move us from the dawn of cinema to the present day. By viewing the history, behind-the-scenes production, and works of stop-motion animation, we will approach the core of its value and charm. *This exhibition may be changed, postponed, or canceled depending on the situation.
