What is
TSUKUMO-KAMI?
TSUKUMO-KAMI is a Japanese word that refers to the spirits (spirits) that dwell in tools that have been used for a long time.
Let's get in touch
with each other
in an old house!
In a special venue, local toys from each prefecture in Kyushu, such as Daruma dolls, will be displayed, and when viewed through AR glasses, the ARized exhibits will appear as if they were TSUKUMO-KAMI, gods that reside in the toys. The delicate and detailed depiction of the gods will make you feel as if you are there, offering an experience value that is only possible through the use of AR technology. The story of each toy's birth and other explanations will also appear, and if you like it, you can purchase it from the Odakyu Department Store EC site. There is no need to make a reservation in advance, and anyone can enjoy the exhibition free of charge.
