We are extremely excited to announce that in November the studio will host a collaboration exhibition with TENGU ART!
Tengu Art is known for its endless illustrations depicting variations on the famous Japanese Tengu demon and has also produced an extraordinary line of soft-vinyl toys. For this collaboration exhibition Tengu Art has created an exclusive run of Tengu Uamou! We are big fans of Tengu Art and we hope you will look forward to it as much as we do!
Okayama born Hatase Ren, graduated from Seian University of Art and Design in 2000. After graduation he has been working as a freelance designer taking mostly illustration and graphic design work before moving onto lay-out design and character design.
In 2010 he started creating his own brand of works under the Tengu Art Banner. When asked about why he creates so many works based on the Tengu demon Hatase replies that even though the Japanese Tengu is such a famous and prevalent icon in Japanese culture he was shocked to realise that before he started Tengu Art he barely knew anything about this intriguing character. He likes Tengu and he figured that by creating many works based on the legendary demon he would also be able to study its enticing background story.

We believe that Hatase is by far the most knowledgable person we know regarding Tengu and we are really looking forward to what he will create for the upcoming exhibition.
