We're proud to team up with Young V&A on their major creative installation Lost and Found Yōkai. Inspired by the museum’s current exhibition, Japan: Myths to Manga, our collaboration has brought together artists and designers from different disciplines to transform umbrellas previously forgotten on London’s transport networks into yōkai. Yōkai are a class of supernatural beings and entities that abound in Japanese folklore, literature, art and popular culture, in particular, the kasa-obake or umbrella monster. These playful spooks are a type of tsukumogami, everyday objects that receive a spirit and find new life as yōkai on their 100th birthday. Participating artists in this free installation include Andrew Kenny & John Booth, Anna Burns, Clara Chu, Nicole Chui, Damselfrau, Jessica Dance, Lilah Fowler, IKUKO Iwamoto, Rio Kobayashi, Lydia Kasumi Shirreff, among many others. These weird and wonderful Yōkai are also featured in an OOH campaign photographed by Emily Stein, re-visiting the same locations where they were forgotten. Both the Lost and Found Yōkai installation and the exhibition Japan: Myths to Manga will be open until September.
