"Stories of 15 Places in Nakanoshima" is a story created by theater writer Toshiki Okada, headed by Chelfitche, in Nakanoshima, Osaka. We are holding a Multi-Venue Project where you can experience AR illustrations created by artists, creators, and participants while superimposing them on the actual scenery. A "town walk tour" and "talk event" will be held to tour the special experience with participating artists. While unraveling stories and AR works, we will discuss the charm and potential of Nakanoshima as the stage.
