JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Works to Exhibit in San Francisco and Kyoto

New JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure artwork by Hirohiko Araki will be exhibited at Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco and Kyoto.

Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage has announced a special exhibition of newly created lithograph and lenticular works by Hirohiko Araki, the creator of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The art will first be displayed at the Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco from September 27 to October 25, 2025. Afterward, it will travel to Kyoto in November 2025.

Araki’s First Lithograph Works

Starting in June 2025, Araki produced nine lithograph works, marking the first time in his career he has worked in this fine art medium. In lithography, the artist draws the image directly onto a metal plate. Unlike standard manga printing, which converts drawings into binary black and white data, lithography preserves the texture of pencil and chalk strokes, directly transferring them from plate to paper.

“Once a line is drawn, it cannot be erased, so the artist must move with a sense of tension”

Each lithograph is limited to 100 copies, printed by Satoru Itazu (Itazu Litho Tokyo/Zenpukuji Lithography Workshop).

For his first lithograph works, Hirohiko Araki chose the following characters and their Stands:

Lenticular Works

Alongside the lithographs, large-format lenticular works that are approximately one meter in width will also be displayed. Lenticular printing uses lens sheets to create shifting 3D effects, allowing viewers to experience dynamic depth when moving around the image.

The lenticular works use a selection of iconic scenes from the manga, including the protagonists of all nine parts of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
