Art Exhibition: Solitaire in Dreams
The show builds on Ohito's earlier project, Marie's Monochrome World, and captures a dreamlike solitude that mirrors the emotional terrain Ginga 101 has often explored. Founded in 2020 by students from Tokyo University of the Arts, the space became a post-pandemic haven for experimentation, dialogue, and emerging talent—hosting over 20 exhibitions, talks and offbeat collaborations.
With Solitaire in Dreams, Ginga 101 ends not with a retrospective, but a quietly resonant evolution— one last invitation to step into a world shaped by imagination, community and care.
Friday, August 1 through Thursday, August 7 12pm–7:30pm, Friday, August 8 11:30pm–4pm.

Tokyo University of the Arts to Establish Game Department MA; Aims to Conduct, Disseminate Game Research
Tokyo University of the Arts announced Thursday that it will establish a 'Department of Games and Interactive Arts' master's program in the Graduate School of Film and New Media in April 2026. 'Japanese games, which have exploded in popularity, have gained worldwide recognition and should be promoted,' President Katsuhiko Hibino said at a press conference in Tokyo. 'We aim to conduct and disseminate research on games from the unique perspective of an arts university with expertise in fine arts and music.' The university views games as a 'new form of comprehensive art in the modern era' that combines multiple artistic fields — including fine arts, music and video — with digital technology. Since 2019, the university has been conducting research through a Game Course within the Graduate School of Film and New Media. However, with the increasing use of games in various spheres of society, such as healthcare, education and regional revitalization, the university decided to establish a new department. The planned enrollment capacity is 20 students, and the university expects to admit not only students with backgrounds in the arts but also those from the fields of information science and engineering.

Ancient aristocrat procession at Kyoto festival captivates 30,000 spectators
KYOTO -- More than 30,000 spectators were treated to an ancient Japanese imperial procession, a highlight of Kyoto's Aoi Matsuri festival, May 15 as some 500 people clad in aristocratic costumes paraded through central Kyoto. The annual early summer festival organized by Shimogamo Jinja shrine in Kyoto's Sakyo Ward and Kamigamo Jinja shrine in the city's Kita Ward is said to have started in the sixth century. As part of the May 15 "Roto-no-gi" parade, a reenactment of a Heian period (794-1185) imperial procession, participants including this year's "Saio-Dai" festival heroine Aya Yamauchi, a graduate student at Tokyo University of the Arts and a native of Kyoto's Sakyo Ward, departed the Kyoto Imperial Palace and marched for some 8 kilometers to Kamigamo Jinja via Shimogamo Jinja. Approximately 33,000 spectators (reported by Kyoto Prefectural Police) viewed the spectacle despite the early summer heat as the city's temperature hit a high of 26.7 degrees Celsius that day, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
