UNIQLO x 松竹歌舞伎

Flower instalation at UNIQLO 5th avenue flagship.

"Kabuki" is one of the most traditional performance in Japan. All actors are men in gorgeous kimono costumes with metaphorical embroiderments that is designed specifically for the performance.

UNIQLO collaborated with SHOCHIKU, one of Kabuki house to produce artsy merchandise for spring campaign. I created flower installation on the table top inside of the campaign booth. My good friend from high school, who currently works as set artist at SHOCHIKU Kabuki consulted me, and I came up the modern arrangement.

NYのユニクロのフラッグシップストアでお花のデコレーションをしました。

初めはプロデューサーの要望に応え、生け花のスタイルを取り入れるつもりだったのですが、場所のスケールを考え少し華やかに納めました。

私の学生時代の友人が松竹歌舞伎座の舞台美術を務めていることもあり彼のアドバイスを元に、伝統とユニクロのモダンな感覚を両方取り入れたアレンジメントに仕上がりました。

In late 2013, I tied to Macy's Helard Square in NYC as part of visual team. Visual merchandising is my original career, and I always wanted to go back. I finally landed the dream team here!

The long journey of a $400 million renovation has been going on at Macy's flagship. I had started Men's renovation, styled mannequins and set ups for up coming holidays. I also had styled the all mannequins on the lady's shoes floor that represents the most progress fashion.

After a month past, the director of Windows hooked me up to be a part of their team. Now, I proudly work on window campaigns.

In 2014, there was a big campaign that Macy's designed and sold their original Sponge Bob for holiday gift. As of the biggest hand-creative job, I built a pineapple house (where Sponge Bob lives :)) with co-worker who is an expert of paint and sculpture.
