Can't stop admiring the dynamic exhibits and the large scale of works!

©︎原泰久／集英社The exhibition starts from the scene where Shin and Hyou talk. While working on the serialization, Hara has spent a year on the original images for the exhibition.

"KINGDOM" is a historical manga that depicts how first Qin Emperor unifies China in the China's Warring States periods. The "KINGDOM exhibition The Road of SHIN" which is based on the story, is currently running at Fukuoka Art Museum. The manga remains hugely popular even after 15 years of serialization. There are more than 400 original manga manuscripts showcased, based on the plot from episode 1 "Mumei no Shonen" to episode 438 "Yuhi no Toki". The exhibition is divided into 15 chapters that allows you to follow the story of Shin (protagonist) as if reading a digest. As you proceed further to the exhibition area you will get so much emotions, especially when looking at Shin's first "Battle at Dakan Plains", as well as the impressive scenes dynamically displayed with extra large graphics. Another highlight will be the 20 illustrations created exclusively for the exhibition by Hara Yasuhisa. This exhibition will give visitors the chance to experience "KINGDOM" that is different from manga and anime!
