"The Little Prince: A Journey to Find What Matters" (Roppongi Hills Tokyo City View) Report: A Small Star's Story Floating in Tokyo's Sky
Summary
A special exhibition titled "The Little Prince: A Journey to Find What Matters" commemorating the 80th anniversary of the French publication of The Little Prince is being held at Roppongi Hills Tokyo City View from November 13, 2025, to February 14, 2027. The exhibition consists of five chapters. Chapter 1, "The Prince Who Lives on a Small Star," unfolds the world of The Little Prince against the backdrop of Tokyo's sky and cityscape. Behind an objet of the Prince standing on a planet, banners depicting the distinctive inhabitants of six planets from the story hang down, illuminated by lights. The installation evokes the beginning of the Prince's journey. Next to the Prince objet, a quote from the Fox about "l'essentiel" (what is truly essential)—a key message of the story—is displayed, offering visitors a chance to reconsider values that cannot be seen with the eyes.
