Rice Mapping from Drill Tokyo on Vimeo.
RICE MAPPING in Milano Salone. The exhibition held on Tokyo Design Week in Milan, April, 2015. “Concept: In Japan, rice is more than a mere food source. It has spiritual significance for the Japanese due to its use as an offering to deities in rituals and ceremonies. We took on the challenge of distilling Japanese aesthetics onto this cultural symbol. We created the world’s smallest projection mapping that brings together Japan’s ancient values and state-of-the-art technology. As it is being viewed, the texture of the “rice” begins to change so that it is no longer just rice. This reflects the ancient Japanese belief in shogyo mujo (the impermanence of worldly things), which is embodied in the saying: “all creation is infinitely transitory with forms and values changing in each moment.” /

“A red-armored “Red Samurai” and three black-clad “Ninja” wage a football chase through the backstreets of Manchester, England, to arrive at the holy land of football—Old Trafford. Not using any CGI, only the freestylers’ techniques came into play to create this footage. They showcased their “final battle” before a live audience of 75,000 in the center of the Old Trafford pitch during the actual half-time of a Premier League Manchester United vs. QPR game” /
Osaka Gas, Double Power Generation: “This campaign aimed to increase diffusion of residential fuel cell cogeneration system “Ene-Farm,” residential gas-engine cogeneration system “ECOWILL,” and “Double Power Generation.” (Double Power Generation combines Ene-Farm and ECOWILL with photovoltaic power generation.) We redefined customers who generate electricity at home as “Generator Families.” Though the amount of electricity generated by each house is not much, when the circle of “Generator Families” widens, a substantial amount of energy can be generated. This would contribute toward solving Japan’s energy and environmental issues. We selected actor Takao Osawa as the lead promoter to spread this plan throughout the Kansai area. In the CM, Takao Osawa and 1000 “Generator Families” gathered together their generated electricity to create a large illuminated musical composition” /
