A retrospective designed to keep changing
Uoto 10th Anniversary Exhibition UO10. runs from December 19 through February 23, 2027 at Yurakucho Museum in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. The creator's first dedicated exhibition follows the path from early concepts and storyboards to original pages and the ideas that shape each work. Its central titles are 100 Meters, the track-and-field debut series; Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, the historical drama later adapted for television; and Welcome to FACT. The venue normally opens from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with 9 p.m. closing on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and closes on January 1.
The studio replica is also a working studio
The unusual element is a replica of Uoto's workspace that will not remain an inert reconstruction. The official exhibition site says Uoto will use it to work on a new serialization while the event is open. Material completed there will enter the exhibition in stages, allowing repeat visitors to see the display grow alongside the project. That promise distinguishes UO10. from a conventional display of manuscripts because it makes the labor, tools and evolving decisions behind manga part of the public exhibit. The new series itself remains unnamed, and no publisher or serialization platform is attached to the announcement.
Why Uoto is exposing the process
In a statement published with the announcement, Uoto describes manga as the meeting of information in a person's mind with the physical and social infrastructure that carries it to readers. The exhibition is intended to show a small part of that outside structure while keeping most of the space focused on the works themselves. For readers who know Uoto through Orb or its anime, the live component offers a rare bridge between a finished, award-winning catalog and whatever comes next. The next major confirmation is therefore editorial rather than logistical: the title, publisher and publication venue of the manga being produced inside UO10.
