Myth of Tomorrow

The Myth of Tomorrow spans 30 meters in width and 5.5 meters in height, depicting figures affected by an atomic explosion through bold colors.

Japanese artist Tarō Okamoto created this mural for a Mexican hotel in 1969, but it remained hidden until its rediscovery in a Mexican suburb during 2003.

The mural illustrates the aftermath of nuclear destruction, with central figures and creatures attempting to escape while a mushroom cloud looms above.

Located in the elevated walkway of Shibuya Station connecting to Mark City, visitors can view the mural while walking between train platforms.

The mural underwent restoration after spending decades in poor storage conditions, requiring hundreds of millions of dollars to repair extensive damage.
