Step into a rare cultural art experience in the heart of Shinjuku’s Kabukicho district. With an English-speaking guide, visit a special exhibition dedicated to shunga, a form of Edo-period ukiyo-e that reflects humour, intimacy, craftsmanship, and the visual culture of early modern Japan.

Your guide will introduce the historical background of ukiyo-e, Edo-period publishing culture, and the role of shunga within Japanese art history. Rather than focusing only on the images themselves, this tour offers respectful cultural context, helping visitors understand the works as classical prints created by skilled artists and publishers.

The exhibition is held inside a unique Noh theatre, adding a striking contrast between traditional performing arts and Edo-period visual culture. During the visit, your guide will highlight selected works, explain key motifs, and answer questions in English.

After the guided introduction, enjoy time to explore the exhibition at your own pace.

This experience is for adults aged 18 and over only.
