Note
“‘Shaun in Shibuya’ was a charity event in which 30 creators designed original giant sculptures of ‘Shaun the Sheep’, the famous clay sheep, and raised funds at auction. I was honored to be assigned as one of the creators along with Hideaki Anno, Moyoko Anno and Zebbra. I named my Shaun ‘Prairie Shaun’ which was designed with the concept of creating a Shaun who became happy and mature after overcoming a series of difficulties: a loving sheep despite his aggressive look. He is listening to music and saying ‘Hello!’ In the opening reception, I held a live painting event for children where we created ‘Shibuya Shaun’ together. Art tends to be regarded as difficult, but I hope this kind of event can offer people, especially families with children, an opportunity to experience and enjoy art.”
