It will allow visitors to relive the work and experience the origins and appeal of a masterpiece that built the foundation of anime history.
In addition to paper materials, another highlight is the history of "Space Battleship Yamato" introduced in a large-scale chronological table, from the first Yamato in 1974 to the remake series currently being released in theaters. There will also be exhibits of records from that time, nostalgic items, and a model of the giant Yamato battleship.
2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the Showa era, and this special exhibition, which touches on the history of Yamato and the memories of the Showa era, will allow many anime fans across generations to have a deeply moving experience.
To commemorate the "Space Battleship Yamato: Complete Record Exhibition" and the 50th anniversary of Yamato, limited original products will be sold at the venue.
