Decotora photo exhibition held at AKIBA Cultures Zone

Decotora, the spaceship of the road.
In the 1970s, the popularity of trucks exploded with the release of the movie Truckers.
Although there are fewer of them left now, they are still very popular.

So this time, I would like to report on the "AKIBA DEKOTORA FAIR," a photo exhibition of decorated trucks currently being held at AKIBA Cultures ZONE.

AKIBA DEKOTORA FAIR is being held on the 4th floor of AKIBA Cultures ZONE

An exhibition of decotora photographs by decotora photographer Junji Hata is being held at the event space on the 4th floor of AKIBA Cultures Zone.
The photographs on display are also available for purchase.
There will also be merchandise such as a photo book of decorated trucks and T-shirts, so it's a must-see for decorated truck fans.

Date: June 7th (Friday) – June 30th (Sunday), 2024
Holding time: 11:00-20:30
Venue: 4F CulZone

Works from the AKIBA DEKOTORA FAIR

From here, I would like to introduce some of the photos on display at the AKIBA DEKOTORA FAIR.
Images cannot fully capture the delicacy of the photographs, their overwhelming size, and the perfection of the works, so I would encourage you to go and see them in person.

・Exhibition using approximately 1/3 of the floor

・Various works from large to small

・Creating attractive lights that can only be achieved with Decotora

・There are also some very large pieces. They will make quite an impact when displayed in a room.

・This piece is priced at 66 yen!

- A large piece created using an easel. Not only is the size of the photograph impressive, but the impressiveness of the decorated truck is also impressive.


・The works on display are available for purchase.

-The photo book is also made with the highest quality paper.

・Merchandise other than the photo book will also be on sale.

Let's go to the Decotora Photo Exhibition in the Reiwa Era

Decotora is also a part of subculture.
Although the sight of trains running with flashing lights has decreased, they still have many loyal fans who love the design and presentation.
It seems like the recognition and popularity of decotoras is split into two groups at certain ages, but this design and its unique presence are still relevant today.
You might be wondering, "A photo exhibition of decorated trucks in Akihabara?", but when you see the actual works, you will be able to appreciate the beauty of decorated trucks, which have created a unique culture.
Should I buy a huge photo?
