At various points along the city’s Mizuki Shigeru Road – named for manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, who hailed from the city — images of monsters, including characters from Mizuki’s manga “GeGeGe no Kitaro,” are projected onto the ground after dark. As of Tuesday, five of those 40 images have been switched to special fall versions. The current set of projections will be displayed until December 2.
