Sit down for a screening of one or ten of over 250 short films from around the world. Tokyo celebrates the diversity of Africa with a showcase of food, music, art, fashion and culture. There are kid-friendly activities and the opportunity to meet representatives from 38 African countries. The festival showcases various aspects of popular media art in Japan, including entertainment, manga and animation. See creative works from over 70 countries. If you like flowers, don’t miss this chance to see 10,000+ hydrangeas in their early summer glory! Coinciding with the rainy season, this exhibition features an interactive installation centered around umbrellas. Visitors can admire the artwork on display, or even create umbrella art of their own!
