NACT 10th anniversary exhibition
Makoto Shinkai: From “Voices of a Distant Star” to “Your Name”

11 November – 18 December 2017
National Art Center, Tokyo (NACT)

 
Since 2016, Makoto Shinkai’s animated film “Your Name” has been a social phenomenon in Japan. The movie is the second greatest box-office hit in the animation category, only exceeded by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s “Spirited Away”. Ardent fans are making pilgrimages to such places in Gifu prefecture, Nagano prefecture and Tokyo that are said to have served as the models in the film. Outside Japan, “Your Name” has been screened in more than eighty countries around the world.
