What Kind of Home? (Season 2)

2026

00:08:01

This is the second installment of “What Kind of Home?” With the Japanese concept of the “eight million gods” as a hidden theme, this series portrays a world in which even the smallest presences in nature may be alive with spirit and signs of life. As an animation for babies, it features a minimal, highly legible character design without over-detailed drawing, and places great importance on gentle, endearing movement.

What Kind of House? (Season 1)

2025

00:08:01

This is the first installment in the short anime series “What Kind of Home?” featured on TV Tokyo’s “Shinapushu.” Inspired by the Japanese concept of “yaoyorozu no kami” — the idea that countless deities dwell in all things — this work was created around the theme of turning our attention to the small lives and subtle presences that reside in nature. With the hope that children can freely expand their imagination in nature, we aimed for a simple, gentle style of expression by stripping away as many elements as possible. In addition, we focused on a minimal character design with infants’ visual perception in mind, along with movements that feel lovable and endearing.

I was in charge of creating the animation for emmi Holiday 2025. The animals appearing in the work are all species that are facing the threat of extinction. emmi’s knit collection, “Live together, Live with the earth,” expresses these animals in vibrant colors together with “positive prayers,” and proposes a future in which we live alongside the Earth through sustainable materials. In this work, those thoughts and sentiments were visualized through animation.

We produced an animation for social media ahead of LILY BROWN’s Spring 2025 sale. Featuring the brand’s beloved “Lily Bear” motif as the main character, the visuals were designed to softly yet memorably convey the appeal of the collection. In the animation, costume changes and pose transitions are used to express the lightness and sense of fun that evoke spring.

Lily Bear Candle – Holiday Magic 2024

2024

Only Image

This SNS animation was created around LILY BROWN’s novelty item, the “Lily Bear Candle,” for the 2024 holiday season. It is composed with a scene in which a small “magic” begins with the candlelight. The flow of light born from the flame softly spreads, then gradually transforms into the shape of a teddy bear, capturing this sequence in an impressive way within a short runtime. The visuals stay close to the brand’s classic and feminine world, while emphasizing the warmth and sense of fantasy that evoke the holidays. Set against a night scene filled with floating stars and ornaments, it uses light, particles, and fluid motion to express “the special time contained within a gift.”

【AR Picture Book That Expands】Mimamori Yokai

In "Mimamori Youkai," many gentle yokai appear. When it comes to yokai, many people may imagine them as beings that "scare people." However, since ancient times, yokai have also been seen as wind, mountains, and nature itself, quietly watching over us humans. The "Mimamori Youkai" are usually invisible, but by using the AR app, you can gently peek into their moving world. At present, only limited smartphones can use the app, but we hope you will give "AR Hirogeru Ehon" a try.

AR Picture Book: Mimamori Youkai

Description: Yokai are usually invisible to the eye. But by using an AR app, you can quietly peek into their living world. When people think of yokai, they may imagine them as beings that “scare people.” However, yokai have also long been seen as wind, mountains, and nature itself—beings that gently watch over us humans. This picture book, Mimamori Yokai, features many kind yokai who watch over children. I have loved yokai since I was a child, and I created this story to help my two very timid sons learn about their existence by focusing not on the “dark” side of yokai, but on their “bright” side.
