Based in Tokyo."Edo characters" are traditional design characters created by deforming calligraphy, and can be seen on Kaminarimon, hanten, senshafuda, etc. Through the discovery and research of their artistic value, he positioned Edo characters as the world's first graffiti (street art) and developed original Edo characters that use the alphabet as parts of kanji characters.
