Yoshi Furuuchi

Hana Akiyama

Hana Akiyama's interpretation of little Red Riding Hood, is quite disturbing in that the images are very full and worked compared to Hana's usual pared down simplicity and spaciousness. The wolf is also very large and patchworked more like an old worn mother than a threatening wild animal.

Midori Takaki

Midori Takaki is a Japanese ceramicist who builds stories around the circumference of the face, and in this way reveals the character.

"I capture the floating thoughts in ceramics. Once they were given shapes, they become grounded. I create something small almost daily at night. I call them my journal. I am writing in ceramics. By doing that, I file the information, which is, otherwise, difficult to classify, in drawers in my brain. I could bring every nuance and detail of my memories, stories, emotion and thoughts, back to life vividly when I see each sculpture."

Kosuke Ajiro

I have long admired the work of Japanese illustrator Kosuke Ajiro, in this new work 'Po to Pou' she is deliciously dark and surreal. Kosuke has constructed tiny scenes and then animated them into a gem of a film, with all of the magic of primitive animation and handcrafted surrealism. Not Red Riding Hood, but included here for its sinister content and feasting wolves.

Mizna Wada

A wonderful envelope design by Japanese graphic designer Mizna Wada, possibly most suited for a bill.

Tetsuhiro Wakabayashi II

This is Tetsuhiro Wakabayashi's interpretation of Snow White, it has borrowed imagery and symbolism from Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty in the bramble blindfold and Little Red Riding Hood with  the presence of the wolf.

Tetsuhiro Wakabayashi II

These red riding Hood images from Tetsuhiro Wakabayashi are very dark the red along the edge of the wolf and the dark face of little red riding hood fill the viewer with foreboding.
