Hideyuki Katsumata

Japanese illustrator based in Tokyo, Hideyuki Katsumata, has been exploring art mostly through his representation of Yokai (妖怪). A class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons in Japanese folklore. People can particularly appreciate his “craziness” bringing Yokai in the middle of a luxury brand and his most famous character : Hanauta. The musical style also bring to the video its resonance, here made by PASCALS even if the artist is also a musical composer. He also worked for a few different kind of luxury brands.
