Abstract

The animals drawn by Tobihachi are dressed in classical costumes such as armor, kimonos, and medieval European dresses. The detailed and realistic depictions are subtly deformed, making the characters at times fearless and at other times cute, full of charm. The title "Nikoge" (Japanese hair) is a word that describes the soft fur of birds and animals, which would be "fluffy" in modern terms. This is a collection of works that allows you to fully experience the world of anthropomorphized animals, where the stylized beauty of traditional Japanese and Western clothing is fused with "fluffy."
