folkstories

My 100 monster badges exhibition in Tokyo, 2007

This collection of monsters and spirits are inspired by old folk stories, bedtime stories, superstitions, spooky, supernatural and mysterious things that gives you chills. Childhood stories you heard from a friend about monsters lurking in bedrooms or outside the window. Stories that bring your imagination to life. We all get scared sometime, but the things that scare us are different. And the scary feeling is different too, some people like the thrill of being scared others don’t. Some things maybe seem nice at first, but aren’t when you look at it a bit closer.
