MOUSO-YATAI Producer<\/h3>\n

While working in a Tokyo advertising agency, MOUSO-YATAI Producer began illustrating characters and buildings inspired by Tekkon Kinkreet movies as a creative outlet from corporate life. It was during this time that they became inspired by the melancholy of the food stalls that appeared and disappeared without a trace, and the stories that emerged from these places. This later became the inspiration for their \u201cdelusional food stall\u201d series, in which MOUSO-YATAI Producer depicted the kind of carts they wished existed by incorporating animation techniques.<\/p>\n
