As a pioneer of Harajuku Kawaii culture, he has also published a number of books and given lectures at a number of places and events.
As an art director, he has worked on Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s headlining tours, Miyamoto Amon’s musical piece “The Wiz ~The Wonderful Wizard of Oz~”, Nippon TV series “PON!”, Roppongi Hills “Tenku no Christmas 2013” and other numerous art events and projects.

Adorned with over-the-top decorations ranging from oversized baby bottle light fixtures, melting macaron towers to a merry-go-round shaped like a cake, visitors can taste the menu which includes ‘poison’ parfait, rainbow pasta and monster BLT, all the while being served by an equally eye-catching ‘monster girl’.
In an age where unique experiences and picture perfect opportunities is key, this quirky, japanese restaurant no doubt qualifies for this.
