BUYŌKAI is a new series of 12 paintings inspired by yōkai—supernatural beings from Japanese folklore—presented at YOD TOKYO.

This body of work creates a dialogue between past and present, where ancient spirits meet the precision of contemporary lines.

The pieces explore transformation, rhythm, and silence as storytelling forms, allowing presence to emerge from absence.

Each artwork captures the tension between the visible and invisible, the mechanical and organic, the mythical and modern, embodying a sophisticated fusion of cultural narrative and artistic evolution.
