Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu: Only an Hour Away From Tokyo! Stores, Restaurants, Facilities, and More
Visitors will be able to touch the diverse works and become aware of the diversity of the senses by focusing on their antennae (senses other than sight). This universal exhibition, which questions the conventional visual-dominant and visual-biased exhibition format, has attracted international atten...
The exhibition consists of six zones.
Section 0: Touch Zone
Warming up for tactile learning and tactile pleasure
Section 1: Sensing and Texture Zone
In a darkened venue where participants could concentrate on their sense of touch, participants went from feeling "inconvenient without vision" to feeling "freedom without vision."
Section 2 Connecting with the whole body
When viewers touch the artworks, which have been created using a wide variety of materials and techniques, with their whole body, the distance between the artwork and the viewer becomes closer and the boundaries between the two become blurred.
Section 3 Seeing: Eye-touching Zone Seeing = obtaining information visually, seeing = obtaining information with the antennae (sensors) of the whole body. In this way, both "seeing" and "touching" are included in "seeing".
Section 4: Expanding ear touch zone
A variety of sounds become a gateway to an invisible world. An attempt to capture the vibrations of sound through touch.
Section 5 Deepening: The Heart-Touching Zone
To conclude the traveling exhibition, let's enjoy the experience of reading picture books and letting our hearts blossom with "Reading to Bloom = Ten Different Ways for Each Person."
Touch every piece!
You can take photos of all the works and of course post them on social media!

Bouton/Bokakuan is a space created by renovating a former craft store and residence in a corner of a shopping street in Nogata City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The banks of the Onga River, which flows through the center of the city, and Mount Fukuchi, which can be viewed from the riverbed, are very beautiful. The city center, where time flows peacefully, is a place where you can spend your time at a leisurely pace. I enjoy listening to people's stories, reading books, taking photos, and taking walks. I also cherish my time by tending to the garden at Bokakuan. Please come and have a nice chat and share some quiet time together.
