Tokyo Kamen 2008


Tokyo Kamen is a design project started in 2006 by Akihiko Ando and Eri Uchiyama. Taking the traditional masks (kamen) worn by “Noh” actors as its main influence, the project has blossomed into a series of textile-based products such as dolls, cushions, and bags. The Cooper-Hewitt shop will be debuting the entire collection of 54 unique, zany dolls, each hand-made by Uchiyama, next Friday, 17 May.
