Originally hailing from Tokyo, anime artist Jun Inagawa moved to Los Angeles, and since he has been based there, he is gradually gaining recognition on a global scale. Following last year’s collaborations with Vlone, AWGE, and Diesel for the brand campaign Ha(u)te Couture, the talented Japanese returns to the homeland for his first ever solo exhibition. Opening Fri – Mar 1 (3PM-6PM) at Diesel Art Gallery in Shibuya, the show is entitled Magical Girl DESTROYERS (Moe), and puts more than 20 new works on display, all themed around a story of the Magical Girls characters fighting to regain the anime, game, figure, two-dimensional wife, and Japanese otaku subculture, that has been excluded by the two-dimensional exclusion method. Additionally, there’ll be an enticing range of memorabilia for die-hard fans to snap up at the venue, such as T-shirts and posters. Needless to say, Inagawa will be present at the opening for an exclusive signing session.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
