Edo Ball is a self-initiated project I created from the ground up—blending basketball, Japanese culture, and Ukiyo-e-inspired illustration into a singular visual world. Since starting with two original artworks in 2013, I’ve developed the entire creative direction, stories, branding, and aesthetic. The series now includes 62 illustrations, prints, jerseys, teamwear, and a book—each piece telling its own story through sport and symbolism.

Process
Edo Ball is a fully self-created project that reimagines basketball through the lens of mythology, Japanese culture, and Ukiyo-e-inspired storytelling. From concept to execution, I’ve built the entire world—developing the visual language, narratives, branding, and product design. Each of the 62 illustrations tells its own story, whether drawn from player nicknames, legendary moments, or iconic basketball sayings. What began as two personal artworks has grown into a complete creative universe—spanning collectible prints, limited-edition jerseys, custom teamwear, and a hardcover art book that connects fans of sport, culture, and design through bold visual storytelling.
