 404. Wa  

Imagining travels. 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. – ‘Wa’ means Japanese in Japanese. I imagined Japan and then named this room Wa. In Japan, most houses have rooms with tatami mats in the Japanese style even today. I hope you feel the atmosphere of Wa a bit in this room.”


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.
