Naruto Exhibit Heads for Osaka; Begins July 18 and Includes Newly Released Key Frames

The Naruto exhibit being held in the Mori Arts Center Gallery of Roppongi Hills, Tokyo from April 25 will be kicked off in Osaka on July 18. The Naruto exhibit is a project to commemorate the conclusion of the serialization of Naruto. It is gaining great acclaim for including many key frames by author Masashi Kishimoto released for the first time. The Tokyo exhibit will run until June 28, at which time it will move to Osaka. The Osaka exhibit will be held at the Osaka Culturarium at Tempozan until Sept. 27. It will run nonstop.

The Osaka exhibit will include the same talked-about features from the Tokyo exhibit including the Hokage rock display, special theater screenings, and more. There will also be the library desk at which Kishimoto kneaded through the serialized story’s plot. There will also be the same exhibit of precious key frames that fans find irresistible. The Osaka event will also have on display newly released key frames impossible to overlook.

Advance tickets to the exhibit will go on sale June 6 (Sat.). They will be available until the day before the exhibit kicks off, July 17. They will be available for purchase at Loppi and Lawson Ticket machines inside Lawson and Mini Stop stores throughout Japan. As a bonus, advance tickets will come with a Naruto Exhibit Premium Fan Book: Shinden Ikazuchi no Sho which includes a manga drawn by Kishimoto just for the book.
