This is a one-of-a-kind work by Mr. Kazumiida, with a hand-painted picture of a lion and a woman on a hanging scroll. Mr. Katz's specialty, the lion, is vividly drawn. The hanging scroll adds a modern look and is a fresh piece.

``ART TRIP with Kads'' The works born from his travel experiences are not limited to paintings, but include product works such as apparel and household goods, store interiors, logo designs, live paintings, picture books, and a wide range of other creative activities.
Since the 2011 earthquake, I have turned my attention to Japan, instead of focusing on other countries, and have been traveling all over Japan.
Together with the people I met in various places, I strive to create works that convey messages for the future. We also focus on collaboration with craftsmen of traditional Japanese crafts such as lacquer work and indigo dyeing.
In addition, the ceiling paintings inside the BEAMS JAPAN store, which have a Made in Japan theme, incorporate ancient Japanese motifs and techniques such as dragons, wind gods, thunder gods, and phoenixes. He continues to expand his range of expression.

[Staff review]
staff:HsdKey points: This piece will give you new inspiration by combining the Japanese taste of hanging scrolls with Kads's signature lion illustrations. The size is also quite large, so it makes a big impact.
