When it comes to yokai, Japan is commonly associated with them. However, it is worth noting that Mizuki Shigeru has also depicted nearly 1,000 yokai from around the world. Now, the world of yokai depicted by Mizuki Shigeru has gathered at Little World. These yokai, depicted in Mizuki Shigeru's unique style, possess a strange and eerie charm. With a variety of interactive events suitable for both children and adults, I highly recommend visiting and experiencing this special exhibition.

The exhibition will showcase 80 permanent pieces during the first period (July 22, 2023, to September 14, 2023), with 20 pieces being replaced for the second period (September 15, 2023, to November 26, 2023). Additionally, there will be photo spots where visitors can take pictures with the yokai. The anime film "GeGeGe no Kitaro: Yokai Great War" (released in 1986) featuring yokai from around the world will also be screened.
*Admission to Little World is the only requirement to enjoy the exhibition.
