i.Am Type Specimen
We are often deprived of defining ourselves and who we are. As you are the master of your own life and destiny, you should be the only one who defines yourself. My font, called "i.Am", supports one’s right to self-expression,
liberty, and uniqueness.

Five
David Sedaris, a well-known essayist in America, contributed a writing “Now We Are Five” to The New Yorker in 2013. In this essay, he reminisces about his lost sister and reflects on his previous indifference toward her. It reminded me of my forgotten aunt, and I decided to write about her. The left side of the book contains Sedaris’s original writing while the right side shows my own reflections and illustrations.
Throughout “Now We Are Five”, Sedaris apologizes for his indifference toward Tiffany. And from my writing, "Five”, I apologize for forgetting my aunts. Beyond the lapse of time, there was a big family. And they were five, not just three.

CubeZeroZero×Six
Cube Zero Zero × Six takes its motif from the film Cube (1997). When any film title is keyed into the Enter bar, the tone of the film reviews is sorted into negative and positive by machine learning, and these are reflected by the colors of the cubes.
The goal of Cube Zero Zero × Six is to represent the cube used in the film in the virtual world. Based on data, Cube Zero Zero × Six changes continuously as an artificial online organism.

Measured Creature
Measured Creature is a digital microscopic organism born in smartphones. Its entity lies within a hologram, and it grows in three dimensions in the real world. Its rate of growth is proportional to the frequency of the owner's smartphone use, and the creature gradually evolves into a larger organism.

Spooky December
A risographic printer is a stencil duplicator that can print using one or two colors at a time by using a color drum. By using black ink only as a basic tone for this risographic printer, I intended to give the impression of neon spot colors. The pink graphic on the poster is made using pink color paper, not the color drum of the risography printer’s fluorescent pink.

I have always been interested in traditional printed matter and how they are made, so I purchased risograph color drums, and RYB is the first piece of work I produced using the color drums that I needed most: Red, Yellow, and Blue.

Experiment
This project was initially designed as an experiment aiming for cost-efficient performance; using digital, my aim was to produce – even when using my old printer at home – an output that was similar to printing using white spot color at a print shop.

Barcode Band ― The fourth project
Barcode Band was started in 2012 and has been broadcast in various media, including TV and Design Boom, selected as Vimeo Staff Pick and won ADAA. When the barcode graphics on the paper are scanned, they represent the inherent sounds of the graphics used to create music. This new digital instrument compresses existing heavy musical instruments onto a single piece of paper, exemplifying the essence of the digital society.
