A flower vase inspired by the hanging scroll (kakejiku/ 掛け軸) it faces across, with a drawing of “Enso”(円相)by artist Tadaomi Shibuya, which illustrates a state of flux. Removing the outer contours of the traditional vase, the vase was created by conjoining multiple carefully shaped surfaces.
Exhibited at the Parco Kyoto Exhibition (2018) held at Parco Museum in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

Tadaomi Shibuya
Influenced by the robot animation boom, as well as hiphop during his childhood, he expresses his own unique worldview that is linearly reconstructed.

He has collaborated with numerous global brands including GIVENCHY and NIKE, and has worked with a wide network of clients. He has participated in multiple exhibitions in London, New York, LA, Taipei, Bangkok and more. His styles of expression and design span over different genres.

In 2016, he painted an iconic huge mural on the site of the former cargo loading port of Bandaijima in Niigata City.

He also designed the football jerseys of the Japanese national team at the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020.
