Edo Ball is a self-initiated project that fuses basketball, Japanese art, and Ukiyo-e-inspired illustration into a visual world. Since starting with two artworks in 2013, I’ve developed the stories, art direction, and products into a collection of over 60 pieces — including prints, jerseys, basketballs, and books — each connecting basketball and culture through design and imagination.

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.
