An image projection device that is not intended for information transmission, but instead focuses on color and movement. The image projected within a physically transforming frame is freed from the concepts of flatness and fixity, creating a “sculpture of images.”

A portrait drawn on paper softly begins to sing, and a small visual world unfolds across the desk. A stop-motion animation in which the objects around it start to move along, creating a slightly fantastical atmosphere.

Skip City is home to curious scientific devices and historic filming equipment, but because it is located far from the city center, it remains little known. “What is Skip City?” Its appeal can only be understood by going there, and this was expressed through animation.

A 2015 greeting movie. The dreamy imagery evokes the memory of a small merry-go-round slowly turning above a baby crib, while also suggesting the arrival of the new year as the scene gently begins to move. The playful rhythm and tone add a subtle, exquisite color to the visuals.

Commissioned by adidas UK, we produced a documentary film about shoemaster Toshiaki Omori, who is based in Kobe. It was created for the social channels of Size, a shoe retailer with dozens of stores across Europe.

A short film that unfolds through pop-style illustrations. The timeline within the work is freely controlled, flowing at a leisurely pace at times and racing by at high speed at others. A surreal, amusing animation.
