Hako no Otoko

Imiri Sakabashira's world features zoomorphic beings that evolve from one another and their surroundings. The narrative follows a journey on a scooter through shifting environments that blend urban and rural settings. The story includes creatures like a crab-man hybrid and a flying frog, guided by a cat resembling a mollusk. The work merges Japanese folklore, pop culture, and surrealism into a cohesive whole. The distinction between living and non-living, real and imagined, becomes blurred. The story unfolds with minimal text, creating a complex, dreamlike travelogue.
