美術

Your own museum

A museum of the floating world, for you alone

Every month, a small museum opens its doors for one visitor. You.

  • Born under one of nine stars

    Your birth date places you under one of nine stars of the old Japanese calendar. Each month the stars turn around the board, and your star lands somewhere new.

  • A print that answers your stars

    From thousands of woodblock prints, one is called out by where your star stands this month. It hangs in your museum, and nowhere else.

  • The details become a letter

    Travellers running through sudden rain. A small boat on the river. What is drawn in the corners of your print becomes a message for your month.

  • Twelve prints, one year of you

    Month by month, your prints become a collection chosen by your stars. A year from now, twelve prints on the wall will tell the story of your year.
