As part of our Oshogatsu Family Festival, artist Sebastian Masuda, creator of the Time After Time Capsules, will talk about his work.

Masuda is organizing a total of 10 translucent time capsules as part of a long-term art project that will culminate in Tokyo in 2020. The capsules will all be returned to the cities where they were filled and reopened in 2035. Two of the capsules—one shaped like Hello Kitty and one shaped like Domo, the official mascot of Japan’s public broadcaster NHK—will be on view at JANM through January 29.

Presented in collaboration with The Japan Foundation, Los Angeles, and sponsored by NHK World.
