Koichiro Tsujikawa is an innovative filmmaker from Fukuoka, Japan. He first began his career as an art director designing book covers and CD jackets before eventually transitioning to music video production. He now works on commercials, short films, music videos, installations, and other various forms of media in Japan and across the globe. Tsujikawa often depicts delusions or hallucinations in his work to give them a childlike playfulness. Despite being from Fukuoka, Tsujikawa was assigned the Hyogo prefecture for our new exhibition, DESIGN MUSEUM JAPAN | Bridging Design and Life. Tsujikawa visited the Hyogo prefecture and made his own creation inspired by Hyogo, which also combines his preference for bringing out childlike imagery in his artwork. See how Tsujikawa depicts the Hyogo prefecture with his playful artistic vision in our new exhibition, DESIGN MUSEUM JAPAN, open now at Japan House LA! #JHLA #DesignMuseumJapan #Japan #KoichiroTsujikawa #HyogoPrefecture #Hyogo #JapaneseArt #FilmMaker #FilmDirector #JapaneseDirectors #JapaneseMedia #JapanHouseLA #NewExhibition #SpringExhibition #JapaneseCulture #ArtGallery #ArtExhibition #JapaneseArtists #LAArtScene #ThingsToDoinLA #OvationHollywood #JHLosAngeles
