This Japanese Artist Creates Poetic Existential Illustrations (35 New Pics)

This reminds me of my kitty Sweetie who passed in May this year at 14 years. She would always come to comfort me when I was sad. Miss her and this comic is cute and sad

Adorable🥰

It’s Medusa finding love with a blind man.

In our loneliest of hours, we're never truly alone.

Slay

Oh so that's how kids are made.... the books were lies!!

I want a cat so badly

Shut up, im not crying your crying

Can't decide if it's "be yourself" or "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down".

Patriarchal mandatory women's wear vs what some women would prefer.

This one usually doesn’t get hired.

One of these things does not belong?

The image is essentially "出る釘は打たれる" (Deru kugi wa utareru) which means "The nail that sticks out gets hammered".

Other girls : "omg,she's hot"

Yah bish that happens with foreigners in Japan!

It's really only because of who she is surrounded by though. When you are among your own then it isn't like this.

Stand out from the crowd!

I think it's just saying 'Be Yourself'

I felt sad for the young man one. While everyone grew old and died peacefully , he took his own life, probably he had nothing. Some angels are wondering why he is so young and sad here, unlike the others. While the elders were smiling knowing they had fulfill their life, the man face shown emptiness

Feels like the world right now...

Good, be proud of who you are

Talk about parents who only care about how the family looks to people, bet he is abused, $20 on it

Perhaps we fill our lives with unnecessary clutter to the point of suffocating/isolating ourselves?

Yep my life in a nutshell....

Emotional support demon.

Love model student and "delinquent" content

Idk what this is supposed to mean but it looks amazing

Former living being teaching his friend Death about living. Common idea for artists these days, feeling sorry for Death because it's lonely and can only experience life from afar and only ending it, not creating it.

Moana?

Oof. This one hit me hard.

Oh God...

Never good enough on your work, never good enough for your parents.

Nice

For anyone wondering, the text says "I can't work", "I can't eat", ""I can't go out", and "I can't go out"

Way to connected these days. Not a moment to ourselves.

Ouch. This makes my heart hurt.

Timelapse (graduation-newborn child-father of the bride-then his grand daughter)

My husband and I stopped at a slot casino in atmore Alabama at 12:00am and the amount of strollers and babies in little car seats that lined the wall of the casino was insane.....and people were smoking in there! Heartbreaking

The bouquet is blocking her view of him, He’s hoping that romantic gestures and gifts will hide who he really is.

Boys also wants pretty dresses, he's wearing a male middle school uniform like shinji(eva)

Japan has one of the most incredibly brutal work cultures. I work in the linguistics field (specifically sociolinguistics) and one of our projects was to help create a guide for Japanese women entering the work force to help create a healthy balance between work and life. It was extremely distributing to read how much pressure was placed on young people to get into the best University. Japan even has the term "karoshi" which means "death by overworking."

Break up

Notice the 4s on the 2 frames? 4 sounds a lot like death in Japanese, it is the number of death in Japan and seen as a bad omen. Kinda like 13 in other countries.

This is a thing actually here, taking photos with cutouts.

BP censors missed oneee

I thought the picture was loading!
