I created KAMIYA inspired by kami (神): Japanese Shinto gods and otherworldly spirits.

Kamiya are modern kami born from people’s emotions. Each one carries a small fortune bag that reflects its personality. Legend says that inside each bag are little fortunes or secret messages. They bring small blessings… or lessons.

ONE WORLD

KAMIYA WORLD

Oniya exist on the opposite end of the spectrum. These spirits do not carry fortune bags because they are cursed, consumed by their own inner darkness. Instead, they hold an object representing their theme in their hands. Through Oniya, I wanted to express the duality of human psychology and emotion.

There is both light and darkness within us all.
