Tomioka Silk Fantasia - Silk Fantasy Festival

Tomioka Silk Fantasia - Silk Fantasy Festival" set against the backdrop of the national treasure and world cultural heritage, Tomioka Silk Mill!

This event combines visuals, music, and fashion in a spectacular fusion. It consists of two main components: "NAKED Yorusanpo™ - Tomioka" and "Tomioka Silk Fantasia," both set in the historic Tomioka Silk Mill, a registered national treasure and world cultural heritage site. Renowned director Junya Yamada will lead the artistic direction for this special event. NAKED, INC., known for their digital art creations, including projection mapping and light installations, will provide captivating spatial designs.

NAKED Yorusanpo™ - Tomioka
"NAKED Yorusanpo™" is an outdoor, wandering nighttime experience created by NAKED. This concept has successfully collaborated with various regions, including Ikaho Onsen town in Gunma Prefecture and the World Heritage site, Zuigan-ji Temple in Matsushima, Miyagi Prefecture, to boost the nighttime economy in different areas. Even in tourist destinations where businesses tend to close early, "NAKED Yorusanpo™" transforms famous landmarks with illuminations, projection mapping, and lantern art. This allows visitors to utilize the evening hours for tourism and helps promote travel dispersion.

Enjoy NAKED's grand projection mapping, lantern art, and flower fortune, all enhancing the nighttime ambiance of Tomioka Silk Mill, a national treasure and world heritage site.

Tomioka Silk Fantasia
On October 14th and 15th, the Tomioka Silk Mill's Western Cocoon Warehouse Plaza will host live music performances and a fashion show. The musical lineup includes DE DE MOUSE, a composer, producer, and DJ from Gunma Prefecture; bala, a creative collective of girl artists and creators based in Tokyo; and Yamabe Yasushi, a renowned taiko drummer with performances worldwide.

Additionally, we've collaborated with nearby facilities and eateries, offering various activities for you to enjoy while exploring the surroundings.

Immerse yourself in a fantastic night in Tomioka City, where film, music, and fashion come together to create a silk and fantasy experience that feels like stepping into another dimension.

◼︎CONTENTS
・Shirukuru Hiroba Pavilion: NAKED Distance Lantern®
Introducing NAKED's unique art-inspired lanterns, born during the COVID-19 pandemic. When you take a leisurely stroll with one of these lanterns in hand, the ground comes alive with colors and patterns unique to each location, allowing you to be a part of the mesmerizing light display.
For this event, we have drawn inspiration from the location of Tomioka Silk Mill in Gunma Prefecture, which has strong ties to the art of natural dyeing. As a result, we offer five color variations: red, blue, pink, green, and yellow, all inspired by the vibrant hues of plant-based dyes.
※ Lantern rentals are available for a fee: ¥500 per use (tax included).

・Shirukuru Hiroba Pavilion: NAKED Flower Fortune®
Introducing the wildly popular art fortune-telling, NAKED Flower Fortune®, which even ranked high in domestic rapid retweets on X (formerly Twitter). Choose your favorite flower from a variety of colors and shapes, and you'll encounter the perfect message for that moment. The flower ornaments attached to the fortune can be transformed into art by tying them to a wooden branch to make the flowers bloom, making them a great souvenir to take home as a keepsake.
※ Price: ¥500 each (tax included)
