In addition, selected works from the "Okazaki Castle Otemon Digital Painting" will be projected as intermission contents.

Admission is free and no advance registration is required.

The second of the three main programs of the "Okazaki Digital Art Night Festival," we invite you to see the projection mapping that will glamorously illuminate the night of Okazaki, the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu, with cutting-edge digital art.
