Studio Ghibli's 'Zen and Ghibli' exhibition opens at Kyoto's Kyocera Museum of Art
A Studio Ghibli exhibition pairing The Boy and the Heron with Zen thought and three Kyoto temples opens at the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art on 3 October.

The Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art will host a new Studio Ghibli exhibition, Zen and Ghibli, from 3 October to 6 December 2026. The show weaves imagery from The Boy and the Heron together with Zen philosophy, developed in connection with three Kyoto temples. The project offers a contemplative counterpoint to the blockbuster Ghibli retrospectives, grounding the studio's recent film in the spiritual landscape of Kyoto.
