Since its release in June 2025, ‘KOKUHO’ has broken the domestic box-office record for a Japanese live-action film for the first time in 22 years, bringing in 17.87 billion yen in box-office revenue and a total audience of 12.31 million. Shuichi Yoshida, author of the original novel, has described the film as a “once-in-a-century epic of artistic devotion,” and the film has been selected as Japan’s official submission for the Best International Feature at the 98th Academy Awards in the U.S.
This exhibition commemorates these achievements, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the film and to further experience its appeal through a series of displays, for a firsthand encounter with the extraordinary excitement surrounding ‘KOKUHO.’
