Shibuya Station District Temporary Construction Wall Art Project
Business Overview
This project is an art initiative aligned with Shibuya City’s urban development vision, “A city that transforms differences into strengths,” and is centered on the theme of “Celebrating Diversity.” Set in Shibuya, one of Tokyo’s most iconic and internationally recognized districts, the project aims to enhance Tokyo’s appeal and generate public interest. Under the theme “Celebrating Diversity – Shibuya Culture Jungle”, Shibuya is presented as a “Culture Jungle,” where diverse people, cultures, and values intersect. Through the works of Kosuke Ota, an artist with autism spectrum disorder, the project communicates the brilliance of diversity. In the first phase, approximately 15 existing works will be displayed across the entire temporary construction wall. In the second phase, newly created works inspired by Ota’s visit to Shibuya will be exhibited, further highlighting the district’s unique character and appeal.
