Games and Fine Art: Nobunaga's Ambition – Koei Tecmo Games' Ambition: The Birth of Interactive Art

About this event

Held at the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts, this special exhibition is an endeavor to re-evaluate games from an artistic perspective, centering around the historical simulation game series "Nobunaga's Ambition." Amid a global movement viewing games as "playable design" and "interactive art experiences," this exhibition assesses the works of Koei Tecmo Games as "artworks" and interprets the gameplay experience as an "art experience / appreciation," thereby approaching their artistic nature. The venue will exhibit videos and timelines showing the evolution of the series to date, rare original package illustrations, and corners where visitors can experience both early titles and the latest releases. It explores the appeal of games from a unique viewpoint, re-envisioning them not merely as entertainment, but as art expressed through high-level design.
