"Masashi Hattori and the Magic World" draws viewers into the world of art through optical illusions. The exhibit opened on April 28 and continues through May 9 at the Tsu-Matsubishi department store in Tsu.
The exhibit features about 30 artworks created by Aichi Prefecture native Masashi Hattori. The art is drawn in the trompe l'oeil style, so a person might appear to be trapped inside a glass box or swimming with goldfish inside a fish tank. Depending on where the person is standing, the art appears three-dimensional.
Since graduating from Tama Art University, Hattori has held various exhibitions both domestically and internationally.
"I want people to take photos with their friends and family and enjoy a magical world that's different from the norm," Hattori said.
The exhibit is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but it closes at 5 p.m. on the final day of the exhibit. General admission is 700, yen for children age 4 to elementary school-age is 500 yen and free for children 3 and under.
