Muttoni World Karakuri Theater VI

About this event

Held at the Hachioji Yume Art Museum, "Muttoni World Karakuri Theater VI" is an exhibition exploring the world of mechanical automaton boxes by automaton artist Muttoni (real name: Masahiko Muto). Visitors can experience stories coming to life inside the boxes through an interplay of light, shadow, music, and narration. In this exhibition, the previously unreleased work "Robert and John's Night Paradise" will make its debut, alongside the latest work (produced in 2026), masterpieces shown at Yume Art Museum for the first time, and glittering large-scale creations, totaling over 20 works on display. The lineup specially curated by Muttoni leaves a profound resonance, much like the feeling after watching a movie or theatrical play. Designed, assembled, and wired entirely by the artist himself, these beautifully painted boxes, intricately expressive figures, and the mechanical devices that breathe life into them evoke rich drama within just a few minutes. During the exhibition period, special "performance sessions" are also scheduled, where the artist himself narrates the stories behind the works and introduces them.
