The website will be in sync with an outdoor street painting in front of Shinjuku Station's East Exit in the Shinjuku Station Square.  A talented group of artists, the Rinpa Eshidan1, will start the painting at 10:00, November 20, and will gradually flesh it out over 8 hours and 6 minutes.  As the painters work, their piece will come to life in real-time as artwork on the fully-functional website to be authored by Deltro Inc2.  Together, the speed of these two groups working together will exemplify the speed of the new Toyota sports car.

The website be be online until November 26.
