From "Astro Boy" to his representative works, "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Gundam Reconguista in G", an exhibition looking back on anime director, Tomino Yoshiyuki's work over 55 years, "The World of Tomino Yoshiyuki: A Retrospective of Legendary Anime Director ―Gundam, Ideon, and Now", is finally opening in Fukuoka! Starting at Fukuoka Art Museum on Saturday 22 June , the exhibition will tour six cities all over the country (Fukuoka, Hyogo, Shimane, Aomori, Toyama, and Shizuoka). On Saturday 22nd June, Tomino will also make an appearance at the venue to participate in a talk!

At first, Tomino was not an animator. He began his career in directing. And therefore it will not be an exhibition that displays only his animations. Tomino said "there's nothing to put on display, so it's not a good idea to hold this exhibition." However, he was deeply touched by the passion that the six museums displayed in their efforts to organize this exhibition. He started to think that he'd like to "record the side of himself that is not moving a giant robot." That makes this exhibition a rare opportunity for visitors to get a glimpse of Tomino's mindset, an individual who is involved in sensory anime direction!

"Even so, humans must live" - at the exhibition, you can feel director Tomino's prayer. In the talk session on 22nd, a planning team consisting of museum curators will reveal the true figure of Tomino under the theme of "Who is Tomino Yoshiyuki?" Registration for the talk session is open until Friday 7 June 2019. For more information, please check the Fukuoka Art Museum official website, (>> HERE!) (Editorial Dept.,: nika)
