~If Hokusai were alive today, what kind of paintings would he draw? ~
 

A conference called “Hokusai DX CONFERENCE” will be held to bring ideas together, with the aim of creating a “kinder society” for each and every person through the use of digital technology in Kanagawa Prefecture.

 

In order to aim for a society where everyone can participate and understand digital technology based on Katsushika Hokusai’s works, we avoid technical terms as much as possible and provide easy-to-understand lectures, exhibits, and workshops.
This is a place where people from various backgrounds can learn together and deepen their common understanding of the digital age.
