Tokyo National Museum to Host "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" Screening Event

Tokyo National Museum, the oldest Japanese national museum and the largest art museum in Japan, will host its first outdoor film screening event at 19:00 on October 10 and 11. Mamoru Hosoda's 2006 anime film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time will be shown on a giant screen in the front of the main building. You may remember that the protagonist Makoto Konno's aunt Kazuko Yoshiyama (the protagonist of the original novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui) was working at the museum as an art restorer in the film. The visitors who purchase the admission ticket for the museum can watch the film for free.


 


The museum will also hold a special talk show on the first day, featuring the two producers of the film: Takashi Watanabe (Kadokawa Shoten) and Yuichiro Saito (ex-Madhouse). After leaving Madhouse in 2011, Saito established an anime production company CHIZU with Hosoda, then produced his second original feature film Wolf Children in the following year.
