DOLL

Teddy Bears, Animal Dolls, these works are generally on the theme of dolls. I create works featuring dolls as motifs. Especially the teddy bear wearing a leather jackets which I named "PUNKUMA". PUNKUMA is PUNK ＋ KUMA ＝ PUNKUMA (KUMA literally means “bear” in Japanese). My unique, original character “PUNKUMA” is a teddy bear motif creation based on punk rock, one of the greatest counterculture. And the pink one "PINKUMA". PINK ＋ KUMA ＝ PINKUMA (KUMA literally means “bear” in Japanese).
