Works that will make you say “What is this?!” without thinking are apparently being displayed around the Gardens main building, including at MUJI and the Sky Garden.
How to Enjoy It
- Find the 10 works inside the building.
Photos are OK! When posting on social media, add “#なんだこれガーデンズ”. - What Is This?! Play
Next to each work, you’ll find a fun-looking activity written out. - Find Buchi Manager
There are 10 in total. Buchi Manager, who leads the What Is This?! Circle, is hiding around the venue.
In Closing
It seems like it’ll feel a bit like going on a treasure hunt throughout Gardens. After walking around inside during the day, you can enjoy yourself at the beer garden too.
A visual book that packs the world of “What Is This?!” into one volume will also apparently go on exclusive advance sale at MUJI from the 26th (Wed).
