Artist's Profile
1978 Born in Tokyo
Ishikawa becomes a disciple of Master Utagawa Toyokuni VI in 2000, but due to his master’s sudden passing, Ishikawa has continued to pursue the Utagawa aesthetics on his own, and actively holds both solo shows and group exhibitions.
Other than works with UKIYO-E PROJECT, Ishikawa has created illustrations for ukiyo-e in collaboration with Star Wars and Cobra; key visuals for GRAND FRONT OSAKA’s 3rd anniversary; poster designs for Onoe Matsuya’s solo show Idomu; key visuals for television series Ishikawa Goemon, to name a few.
Ishikawa’s recent works include a collaboration with KATSUSHIKA Hokusai for the exhibition Hokusai and Japonisme held at the National Museum of Western Art, a collaborative clothing line with New Era, and key visuals for the contemporary kabuki adaptation of Star Wars.

Publisher's Comment
The kimono pattern comes from Ako Roshi (“47 Ronin” ) - a true story from the 18th century of exemplary bushido or the “way of the samurai”, which has since been adapted into a popular kabuki play.
The subtle sparkle in light grey lines of the kimonos was achieved by the infusion of mica into the ink, and was added in respect to KISS’s costume aesthetics.
The colors underneath the chainmail were chosen to reflect each member’s characters, while the lighter color make-up symbolizes kabuki’s kumadori make-up.
