 112. Mori  

Travelling imagination. Chisato’s inspiration came from her homeland of Hokkaido in the north of Japan: “There is a lot of nature and countryside there. There are four distinct seasons to the year and there is a lot of snow in winter. – ‘Mori’ means forest in Japanese. My imagination spends a lot of time in the forest because I have lived near one at the foot of a mountain since I was a child.”


Kinpro – Japan: The Japanese illustrator Shinya Chisato creates little fantasy fairytale worlds with a minimal palette of harmonious and discrete forms. The symmetry and balance to be found in her work is very much part of the great graphic tradition of her country. Kinpro designs primarily for magazines and the advertising industry. She has worked for Nike and designed wallpapers for the Maxalot Exposif collection. She is perhaps best known in Japan for her Curione character for The Hokkaido Shimbun Press.
