We interviewed Yuko Yamamoto, the gallery owner of Yamamoto Gendai, about the artist Kenji Yanobe.
What is in the video
-What inspired the creation of the picture book "Torayan's Great Adventure"?
-What is the story behind the yellow Atom Suit?
-How was the character of Torayan conceived?
-Could you tell us the story behind the large sculpture, "Giant Torayan"?
-Has having a family affected his work?
Editor's Note
The very first story of Torayan, cute but powerful character Yanobe created, is really interesting! It is funny story and you will know how imaginative person Yanobe is.
