Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition: Ripples of Adventure (荒木飛呂彦原画展 JOJO 冒険の波紋, Araki Hirohiko Genga-ten JoJo Bōken no Hamon) is an upcoming special event to be held from August 24 to October 1, 2018 at the The National Art Center, Tokyo, Japan[1]. The exhibition will be the final project to celebrate JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's 30th Anniversary.
Summary
The event will encompass the entirety of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's history and will act as a culmination of its 30 years of publication. Featuring original artwork from Araki, both old and new, the exhibition hall will utilize various technologies to create the "largest displays in the history of the JoJo manga series".
This is the second time The National Art Center, Tokyo (Japan's largest museum) has held a personal exhibition for a Japanese manga artist, the first being Osamu Tezuka back in 1989[1].
Message from Araki
“
It is a very great honor for me to show the compilation of JoJo's 30th anniversary to everyone at the honorary place. At the same time, I am also feeling nervous. What I have tried to draw in the JoJo series is 'Growth of the Spirits' through all the phenomena in this universe and the battles between the good and evil. This exhibition will feature images of the characters and their guardian gods gathering together at the same time and place. In addition, I am planning to offer some new drawings. Please look forward to the next summer.[2]
