The anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is based on a mega hit Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge. The series has made remarkable success with over 150 million copies of sales and a trilogy of films including “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train” which became the highest-grossing film in Japanese box office history.
Aside from its media success, a number of Demon Slayer collaborations have been held and released over the past few years, including themed cafes, exhibitions, apparel products by Uniqlo and GU, and a special attraction at Universal Studios Japan.
An exhibition focusing on the “pillars” of the Demon Slayer Corps, the highest-ranking swordsmen in the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba series, entitled “Anime Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Exhibition — And to the Infinite Castle”, will be held at CREATIVE MUSEUM TOKYO in Kyobashi, Tokyo from 2 November 2024.
The pillars (Hashira “柱” in Japanese) are the nine strongest swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, consisting of the Water Pillar, Flame Pillar, Sound Pillar, Love Pillar, Serpent Pillar, Mist Pillar, Stone Pillar, Wind Pillar, and Insect Pillar, who have fought against Muzan Kibutsuji for a thousand years alongside the head of the Ubuyashiki family and who are in line with the Demon Slayer Corps’ will.
This exhibition will look into the charms of the nine pillars, including Giyu Tomioka, Shinobu Kocho, Kyojuro Rengoku, Tengen Uzui, Muichiro Tokito, Mitsuri Kanroji, Obanai Iguro, Gyomei Himejima, and Sanemi Shinazugawa, in various ways, focusing on their individual personalities and minds, and moving towards the Infinity Castle with the thoughts of the pillars.
The exhibition brings together various works drawn over the five years of the anime, and constructs the pillars in three dimensions in a large space of about 1,200 sqm and 5 m high. Approx 1,000 original drawings will be on display to capture the expressions of the pillars, as well as a variety of video exhibits, making the overwhelming amount of material available to visitors to experience the presence of the pillars on a deeper level.
By holding the “pillar card” you receive upon admission over the corresponding area, you can enjoy an exhibit where you can experience the pillar’s famous quote, or a corner where the pillar you selected introduces the other pillars with audio recorded specially for this exhibition.
Additionally, the museum cafe CREATIVE MUSEUM TOKYO CAFE located adjacent to the exhibition venue will also host a collaboration cafe, offering a special menu inspired by the nine pillars. See more information about the cafe and the menu from the following link!
