April 29-June 14

To celebrate last month's release of the design book "Sony Design: Making Modern," printed by New York's Rizzoli International Publications, Sony, one of Japan's biggest electronics companies, is holding an exhibition at their event space Opus.

The show features products from the Sony archives and looks back to the company's foundation in 1946, when it first came up with its motto: "Doing what has never been done before."

Thirty items produced since the 1970s are on display, including a nostalgic vivid yellow Walkman — a design that pioneered the culture of taking music outside the home — plus generations of video-game hardware, a Playstation and the more recent humanoid robot SDR-4XII.

Opus; Sony Bldg. 8F, 5-3-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Ginza Stn. 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Free admission. 03-3573-2371; www.sonybuilding.jp
