INTRODUCTION

From CHANEL NEXUS HALL, we present an exhibition in collaboration with Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu, the author and artist duo behind the hit Weekly Shonen Jump (published by Shueisha) manga series The Promised Neverland.

This spring, Shueisha’s “Jump Comics” imprint released miroirs, the duo’s all-new manga inspired by the Chanel brand. Prior to the KYOTOGRAPHIE international photography festival, an exhibition featuring the manga ran from April 28 to June 6 at CHANEL NEXUS HALL in Ginza, Tokyo.
In addition to the manga itself, the KYOTOGRAPHIE exhibition will feature works from eminent photographers such as Robert Doisneau, Frank Horvat, Man Ray, Berenice Abbott, and Cecil Beaton, as well as some precious items from Chanel’s history.
With a multifaceted portrayal of the message within the manga and the Chanel spirit that inspired it, visitors will be able to experience the manga duo’s encounter with Chanel across the ages.
