An artist in Shizuoka Prefecture has an art style that gives ancient Japanese lifestyle and mythology a hip and cute vibe.

Tokyo Mononoke is a graphic designer from Shizuoka that specializes in a motif of old Japanese art, meshing the stylings of ukiyo-e, modern manga, and just an overall feeling of cool. When it comes to artwork, mixes of old and new are always welcome, but the appeal here is that you can really imagine a separate world being crafted in these designs. Enjoy some samples here!
