Chiso, a long-established Kyoto yuzen kimono shop, produces "Flowers, Birds, and 2024 Collection" movie

c08Comp_v06_001A.0001.tif

Chiso, a long-established brand of Kyoto yuzen kimono established in 1555, produced the "Flower and Bird 2024" collection movie created in chidori graph.

We were very impressed by Chiso's relentless pursuit of beauty and innovation in the process of making a kimono, and were able to observe the many handiworks and processes involved in kimono production. I was so impressed that I wanted to convey to as many people as possible the beauty of kimono created by handwork and the image of the "Flower, Bird, and 2024" collection.

After many meetings and refinements with Chiso, we have completed the collection.

I learned a lot from working with Chiso, a long-established Kyoto-based company.

I would like to thank everyone involved in this project from the bottom of my heart.

Fermentation science skincare brand "FAS" Brand Movie CG creation

2023_fas_grain1.jpg

CG creation for the brand movie of FAS, a "fermentation science skincare brand" focusing on ancient black rice from Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture and ancient Japanese fermentation technology.
We valued the color "black" with its natural, deep and various expressions.

The shape and texture are both delicate, and depending on how the light shines on them, they may look different.

We paid careful attention to the detailed lighting.
We are honored to have been involved in the production of this video because I can relate to the brand philosophy of pursuing "nature" and "beauty".

​FANCL Ginza Square 1st floor shop digital display video production

We created a video for the digital display on the first floor of FANCL Ginza Square, which had its grand opening on August 7, 2020.

From the front of the store to the back, leaves and flower petals fall from a grove of trees with a translucent, fresh watercolor feel, creating an image that slowly slips through. FANCL Ginza Square seems to offer a variety of experiences that use all five senses, including shops, gourmet food, counseling, and an experience and cultural zone, so be sure to check it out when you're in Ginza.

Currently, the video is of the spring/summer version, but it looks like the outfit will change again in the fall/winter, so please look forward to that.
