As part of a special collaboration, the narrative world of the manga "Chi. —Chikyū no Undō ni Tsuite—" by Uoto is being linked with the Tokyo City View observation deck in Roppongi Hills. The exhibition creates a connection between the plot, in which medieval researchers strive to prove the heliocentric model, and the observation deck located 250 meters high. The aim is to transform the everyday view into a place of knowledge-seeking.
Central scenes and dialogues dealing with the themes of astronomy, the cosmos, celestial bodies, and insight are being displayed. A specially designed spatial installation is intended to provide insights into the world of historical astronomers.
With the involvement of Ohira Laboratories, led by planetarium developer Takayuki Ohira, a "starry sky theater" is being set up on the observation deck. There, visitors can experience the panorama of nighttime Tokyo alongside a projection of millions of stars generated by the modern MEGASTAR planetarium.
During the event period, a selection of exclusive items as well as products thematically related to astronomy, the universe, the starry sky, and scientific questions will be offered. Additionally, discussion rounds and workshops are planned in the program.
