The last currently planned Shaman King Exhibition will be occurring from July 22nd through August 29th in Izumo. Izumo is known in Shaman King as the hometown of Yoh Asakura, and the Asakura estate was modelled after the Izumo Cultural Heritage Museum. So it is only fitting that this Exhibition will be taking place at the Museum itself. It is located at 520 Hamacho, Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture 693-0054 in Japan. The Exhibition itself is a separate paid event, but the museum is also open to the public, except on Mondays when it is closed.
There will also be some other events occurring around Izumo during this Exhibition, such as a Hotel & Onsen Collaboration. Additional information about this event can be found on the official Japanese website.

- Mandain Hikari Portait Photograph
- Shaman King Character Full Color Wall Display
- Osorezan, 1995 – Promise Display
Original hand-colored drawings (no photographs allowed in this space)
The Kyoto venue, before being cancelled, had also planned a “Memories of Hao-sama” which would have featured artwork of Hao and Mappa Doji. It is possible that portions of this may be integrated into the Izumo artwork displays.
Exclusive Exhibition Goods
Attendees at the Exhibition will be able to purchase goods from the shop. Fans who are unable to attend will also be able to use a mail-order (online pre-order) for the goods via Movic as well. These only ship within Japan, so you may need to use a third-party for shipping internationally.
The following are the goods that are new to the Izumo Exhibition and you can see the full list (in Japanese) on the official website. Some of these items may sell out in store or online for the pre-order. The in-store shop will open on July 22nd and a date for the online shop has not been announced yet.
