The anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", loved by a wide range of generations, is based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, which has sold over 150 million copies in Shueisha Jump Comics volumes 1 to 23. The animation is produced by ufotable. Five years after the broadcast of "Tanjiro Kamado: Unwavering Resolve Arc", the "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Castle Arc" was announced after the final episode of the "Hashira Training Arc" aired in May this year, and it has been attracting a lot of attention.

This exhibition is the first in the Demon Slayer anime series to focus on the "pillars," the highest-ranking swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps .
The strongest swordsmen who carry on the will of the Demon Slayer Corps, who have been fighting against Kibutsuji Muzan for a thousand years.
This exhibition will explore the charms of the nine pillars in various ways, focusing on their individual personalities and thoughts, and take you towards Infinity Castle along with the thoughts of the "pillars."
With the final battle at Infinity Castle approaching, please come and enjoy the "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Anime Pillar Exhibition – And to Infinity Castle."

<Highlights of this exhibition>

Enjoy a "pillar" experience that can only be had here.

◆ An overwhelming amount of material that captures the charm of the "pillars" <br /> Various things drawn over the five years of the anime will be gathered together to create a three-dimensional representation of the pillars in a large space of about 1,200 m2 and 5 m high ceilings. Through an exhibition of about 1,000 original drawings that capture the expressions of the characters, as well as various video exhibits, the overwhelming amount of material will allow you to get a deeper feel for the presence of the pillars.

◆ Audio experience that touches on the charm of the “pillars” and admission benefits available to all visitors <br /> By holding up the “pillar card” you receive upon admission over the corresponding area, you can enjoy an exhibition where you can experience the pillar’s famous quote, as well as a corner where the pillar you selected introduces the other pillars through audio recorded specially for this exhibition.
What is a "Hashirafuda"? It is a card-shaped admission benefit with an illustration of a pillar on it. When you enter, you can choose one of the nine pillars and receive it. By using the "Hashirafuda", you can enjoy a special audio experience of the pillar you chose.

◆Theme Cafe <br /> The "CREATIVE MUSEUM TOKYO CAFE", located adjacent to the venue, will operate the "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Anime Hashira Exhibition – And to the Infinity Castle – Cafe produced by ufotable Cafe" during the duration of the exhibition.
