Heisei Hyakki Yagyo is a still-image adaptation from the Emaki (picture scroll) series. "Heisei" refers to the Japanese imperial era spanning 1989 to 2019—a period marked by rapid technological advancement and urbanization. The artwork reflects on the memory and lost imagination of ancient dark nights. "Hyakki" signifies the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"—a vast array of Yokai, ghosts, and supernatural entities born from human creativity. Before modern illumination, the absolute darkness of night was a fertile ground for speculation and myth. As modern civilization brightened the darkness, humanity lost its primordial fear of the night, causing the rich imaginary space it once fostered to fade. This work captures the haunting moment when the silhouettes of these forgotten entities reemerge within the very artificial light that erased the night.

About Limited Editions
A numbered edition of only 6.
This is a Limited Edition produced in only 6 pieces worldwide. Each piece carries a unique edition number, with authenticity proven both digitally and physically.
Non-reattachable NFC tag
Each print carries a unique NFC tag. Its tamper-evident structure breaks if removed, so it cannot be transferred to another work.
Blockchain certification
Artwork details, edition number, and ownership history are recorded on the blockchain, preserving provenance and ownership over the long term.
Signed certificate of authenticity
A certificate bearing the artist's signature is included. Along with the print itself, it leaves you with proof of authentic ownership.
Physical × digital, dual proof.
Unlike traditional proof that relies on a handwritten signature alone, linking a physical NFC tag with a digital certification record delivers tamper-proof, far more reliable proof of authenticity.
Authenticity is certified using "Startrail," a blockchain certification platform operated by Startbahn, Inc.
