Yoshinori Masakado: Official Ambassador for Immersive Museum OSAKA 2024

Yoshinori Masakado (Ae! group) has been appointed as the official ambassador for Immersive Museum OSAKA 2024. With his unique perspective, having previously portrayed the young Van Gogh in a stage play—one of the painters from the Post-Impressionism movement—Yoshinori will broadly share the charm of this exhibition.

Yoshinori Masakado’s comment about being an ambassador

“I am truly happy to be involved as an ambassador in such a wonderful entertainment experience.

As the ~Dive in Art~ concept suggests, it’s a new way of experiencing art by diving into the masterpieces and feeling the world that the painters of the time touched, using your entire body. On a personal note, I once had the opportunity to portray the young Van Gogh in a stage play and studied his life extensively. After that, when I viewed Van Gogh’s works, I found that my perception of them had significantly broadened compared to the first time I saw them, and I gained new perspectives. This experience taught me that information can enrich the viewer’s appreciation of a piece of art.

By feeling the paintings with your whole body, as you do at the Immersive Museum, I believe you will discover new insights and emotions that can only be experienced here. Whether you’re a lover of paintings or someone who is not usually familiar with art, if you’re interested, I encourage you to Dive into this new world of art!”
