ARTISTS・satonekoto (さとねこと)

satonekoto (さとねこと)

Designer and Visual Artist

Born in Yamagata Prefecture.

satonekoto creates a wide range of works inspired by the liminal state between sleep and wakefulness, a dreamy moment known in Japanese as yume-utsutsu.

yume-utsutsu is believed to be a time when wishes are more likely to come true, and her works invite viewers into that very moment.

She expresses yume-utsutsu through diverse media including music, singing, illustration, manga, animation, balloons, and plush toys. She is also the creator of the popular original character Medi-Usa-chan and the founder of her original brand Nekokaburikko, through which she has developed numerous products and collaborations.
