Beyond the powerful gaze of Rafal from 'Chi: On the Movement of the Earth' spreads the meticulously drawn orbital paths of celestial bodies and the panoramic night view of the great metropolis of Tokyo as seen from Tokyo City View. 'To change your perspective, you must also affirm the possibility that you yourself are wrong'—this is a special visual unique to this event that expresses the moment when questions (?) depicted in the work turn into discoveries (!). Spectacular photo spots overlooking Tokyo Tower! Exhibitions unique to this event At the venue, in addition to displaying reproductions of original drawings of iconic scenes and dialogue from the work, we will delve deep into the story of 'belief' and 'truth' depicted in 'Chi,' with commentary provided by modern philosopher Yoshihiro Tanigawa and others. ■ 'Spectacular Photo Spots' where scenery and famous scenes overlap In the grand space of Tokyo City View, which offers a panoramic view of the urban landscape centered on Tokyo Tower, giant banners featuring famous scenes of 'Chi' characters looking up at the night sky will appear. You can enjoy a dynamic exhibition space unique to the observation deck, where the actual spectacular view of Tokyo intersects with the gaze of those who sought the truth. Furthermore, special photo spots will be set up inside the venue where you can take pictures as if you have stepped into a panel of the manga. By standing among the background and items from the work expressed in black-and-white line art, you can become a character in the story of 'Chi' and take a special photo as if you have entered the work itself.
