The Exquisite Prison and the 30

Starting March 28—exactly 30 days before we open—we are launching a daily interview series on our website and Instagram.

We’ve gathered 30 unique voices connected to Nara Prison, from the art directors and artists to the construction teams and our local neighbors. Through a quick-fire Q&A, they share their personal thoughts on the beauty and allure of this historic site.

Join us as we count down to the moment a new history begins. Follow our Instagram to catch a new story every day.
