A background art exhibition tied to the theatrical anime 「ひゃくえむ。」(Hyaku-em.), based on the original work by Uo (魚豊), is coming to Kichijoji. The exhibition’s full title is 「劇場アニメ『ひゃくえむ。』背景美術展 ー研ぎ澄まされた世界は全て煌めくー」 (A World Honed to Perfection — Everything Gleams), and it borrows dialogue from the story as its subtitle.
The exhibition will be held at GALLERY IRO room3 in Kichijoji, Tokyo across two separate runs: July 17–19, 2026 and July 24–26, 2026 (Friday through Sunday only; no Monday–Thursday sessions). Opening hours are 12:00–18:00, with the final day closing at 17:00.
Exhibition Highlights
- Display of analog original background artwork from both the completed film and the pilot version
- A special section featuring original pencil sketch backgrounds — over 3,500 sketches and coloring sheets arranged in an overlapping presentation
- Every visitor receives a special large-format background art exhibition postcard as a commemorative gift
- Exhibition-exclusive Hyaku-em. merchandise available for purchase on-site
Ticketing and Entry
Entry requires a pre-purchased ticket via the Ticket Dive online reservation service, available from May 25 through June 7 at 23:59. The exhibition uses a 25-minute rotating time-slot system, with 12 slots per day and 10 slots on the final day. Ticket price is 1,000 yen (system fees not included).
Art Book “Hyakkatto.” Pre-Sale at the Exhibition
In addition to the exhibition, the art book 「ひゃくかっと。」(Hyakkatto.) will be available for pre-sale at the venue.

Message from the Art Director
Being part of the background art exhibition for Hyaku-em. is an invaluable experience for everyone on the team. The world where the characters live is the same world we spent the past two and a half years in together. I hope every one of you will be able to feel up close the traces of each brushstroke in the warm atmosphere of this venue.
— Yamaguchi Junkan, Art Director and Exhibition Organizer
