Maywa Denki
Maywa Denki is an artistic unit formed in 1993 by Nobumichi Tosa. Over its 30+ years, Maywa Denki has brought many “nonsense (super common sense) machines” into the world. Maywa Denki’s Otamatone continues to fascinate people across the globe and remains one of its most popular inventions. This adorable, eighth-note-shaped electronic musical instrument has become a worldwide phenomenon and it continues to amaze and bring joy and laughter to many.

This exhibition traces Maywa Denki’s history while giving us a generous introduction to many valuable MaywaDenki products and materials. Visitors will also have the unique opportunity to learn some of the secrets behind the creative ideation process of Maywa Denki’s president, Tosa—and gain more insight into how Maywa Denki turns ideas into reality. Also, don't miss Tosa's “Product Briefing” public gallery talk and live performances.
