“Okazaki Tokiakari” is an event which began in 2011 with the goal of creating a new way to showcase the charms of Okazaki by turning the nighttime scenery of Okazaki into a work of art and creating an event where many visitors can enjoy exploring the Okazaki area. The main feature of this event is projection mapping performance. Since 2013, participation in this portion of the event has been open to the public.  At this time we are soliciting participants for a Creator’s Workshop to help in the creation of projection mapping entries which will compete for the Okazaki Tokiakari Award 2019.

This year, the location is in front of the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art (Kyoto City Museum of Art) again. Because the repair of the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art is finished. This museum will open next March. Please celebrate a new start with your works together!

In addition, this is the final time that we carry out competition.

   This Creator’s Workshop is a training course designed to help participants create their own projection mapping entry. We are looking for young or new creators who are interested in creating their own images and designs. The works created during this workshop will be entered into the Okazai Tokiakari and compete for the Okazaki Tokiakari Award.

This year’s theme is Okazaki Modern and the future of Okazaki. Participants will be asked to create new imagery of the history and natural features of Okazaki, along with thinking about the future development of the Okazaki Area.
