Immersive Installations Featuring Seven Hosoda Films

The exhibition highlights seven of Mamoru Hosoda’s major films—The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, Wolf Children, The Boy and the Beast, Mirai, Belle, and Scarlet. Visitors, guided through specially designed spaces, encounter “questions of thought” inspired by each story, blending cinematic immersion with philosophical reflection.


Concept of the Thought Experiment Collaboration

The Thought Experiment Exhibition invites participants to consider how they might act if placed in alternate worlds. Its first edition in May 2025 drew strong attention, selling 12,000 tickets and reaching 4 million total video views on social media. This collaboration connects Hosoda’s recurring themes of choice and courage with personal introspection.
