9 Lives
A concept art project that explores "ma", the in-between space between childhood and adulthood, human and yōkai, countryside and city. After moving to Tokyo, a lonely boy follows strange creatures through hidden torii gates into a shrine where he meets his reflection revealed as a Bakeneko, a shapeshifting cat spirit. Through a moonlit festival procession across the sleeping city, the two discover what it means to be truly seen without needing to transform.

Rukka
A concept art project that explores the world of a young herbalist named Rukka, who lives in a remote village surrounded by a mysterious forest. The villagers live in harmony with nature and worship ancient animal spirits, believing that these spirits protect them from the dark and dangerous creatures lurking beyond the forest's edge. The project integrates natural and animal elements into the design of characters, environments, and props.
Limone
A concept art project about Blu, a gentle soul in a uniform town where anyone unique is seen as a strange creature. Hoping to share and receive love through cooking, he travels to the vibrant island of Limone. There he meets Donna, a warm, open-hearted grandma who fills her home and little shop with mix & matched treasures and welcomes local kids despite the loneliness of losing her dog. Through their friendship, Blu finally finds warmth, belonging, and the joy of being accepted as he is. Exploring loneliness, acceptance, and diversity, Limone reflects on modern isolation and highlights the value of opening our hearts to the unfamiliar.
