We participated as maxilla in ONE PIECE’s art project “BUSTERCALL.” Drawing on the history woven throughout the story and its intricate foreshadowing, this is a media-mix work combining audiovisual elements and sculpture, expressing the mythic nature of ONE PIECE through sculpture.

Roger, the origin at the heart of that pursuit, along with the many elements scattered throughout the work, as a myth that transcends eras.
