On August 19, 2023, a sunny day, after viewing the "Shadows House" original art exhibition in Shibuya, I dropped by to see The Great Touhou Project Exhibition 2023.

My first encounter with the Touhou series was in high school, when I played my first Touhou game, "Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil." However, the hardcore gameplay at that time meant I ended up playing "Touhou Hisouten ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody" and "Touhou Hisoutensoku ~ Choudokyuu Ginyoru no Nazo o Oe" the most.

This time, by chance, I discovered that Shibuya was hosting The Great Touhou Project Exhibition 2023 specifically for Touhou fans, so I immediately bought a ticket to relive the past.

The entrance of the exhibition.

The entrance to Gensokyo, ZUN's retro art style is very nostalgic!

However, due to the inconvenient shooting position at the time, this photo is an official image.

The main visual of this exhibition at the entrance.

Since this year marks the 20th anniversary of "Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom," the exhibition focused on introducing this game.

Near the shopping area, there was a game trial zone, which was a great way to relive the experience!

Regarding this The Great Touhou Project Exhibition 2023, my companion also said it was short, but it felt better than the previous "Lycoris Recoil" exhibition. It seems the "Lycoris Recoil" exhibition has become our benchmark (laughs).

Finally, the spoils of this trip

Promotional poster

Keychains of Remilia and Flandre

Shopping bonus postcard

I also bought a Youyoumu cup.

I had wanted to buy it for a long time, but it was out of stock. Since it was available at this exhibition, I bought it directly.

The craftsmanship is really exquisite!

Also, thanks to my companion for gifting me the Kurumi clear file!

This Kurumi is really beautiful!
