Enter the world of manga artist group CLAMP this summer in Tokyo, as the National Art Center launches a massive exhibition celebrating their work and worldview. The event, which was officially announced earlier this month, is revealing more about what to expect in the lead-up to its debut.
The exhibition was originally planned to have five sections, each addressing a different aspect of the artists’ work: COLOR, LOVE, ADVENTURE, MAGIC, and PHRASE. Two new areas—IMAGINATION and DREAM—will round out the exhibition. IMAGINATION will delve into the group’s 35-year history, exploring media outside manga including books, magazines, and character art. And DREAM will be the final area of the exhibition, featuring brand new full-color art by the group.
Visitors to the exhibition can avail themselves of an audio guide narrated by voice actor Jun Fukuyama. The seiyuu has a long history with CLAMP, having played Kimihiro Watanuki in xxxHOLIC, Koutarou Kobayashi in ANGELIC LAYER, and Lelouch Lamperouge in Code Geass.
Special commemorative tickets, ticket holders, and prints will also be available through the exhibition:
The CLAMP Exhibition is scheduled to run from July 3 to September 23 at the National Art Center in Tokyo. More information is available via the official website.
