Source of the Japanese robot passion: 80 Doraemon occupy Tokyo Tower

This is not Tech event. However, I write it because it is not unrelated to the Japanese passion of robot. Now, exhibition of Japanese famous Manga artist Fujiko.F.Fujio is held in Tokyo Tower until October 6. He drew various SF Manga for children including Doraemon. He died at 62 years old in 1993. He reached 80 years old in this year if he lived. This exhibition was held in commemoration of it. He was well-read, and had a lot science, chemistry, technology, astronomy in particular. They were reflected by many works.

Furthermore, he had foresight. It was reflected by the many robots and gadgets which appeared in the works. Some gadgets which he thought about have already come out.

However, Doraemon is the most famous. Because Japanese many robot developers want to see him early, and continue studying every day. In Manga, Doraemon is made on September 3, 2112 years. Will Japanese robot scientists be in time until this date?

Why would an exhibition of Fujiko.F.Fujio be held in Tokyo Tower? Because he drew a lot of Tokyo Tower in works.

Unfortunately the most exhibits are put under ban of photography. However, all the exhibits are valuable and splendid! There is the cool projection mapping, too.

Finally we can buy various cute souvenirs. Even the sweets are pretty!

This is the event that you should watch if you have a chance when you stay in Tokyo by October 6. There were many foreign tourists today. Particularly Asian tourists were excited. Doraemon is popular in Southeast Asia.
