Primal Pop -PPC-, a work created by upcycling a raccoon dog ("tanuki") statue born in Kisarazu, is exhibited at Kurkku Fields in Chiba prefecture. Tanuki statues are thought to bring fortune and are filled with various traits to do exactly that.

“This work is a revival of a raccoon dog figurine once displayed in the town of Kisarazu by artist Sebastian Masuda, inspired by the “100 Years Later Art Festival” in 2024.

This tanuki is now a keychain that you can take home with you. With bright neon hues that are true to color to the actual statue, this tanuki is a great way to own one of Sebastian Masuda's artworks. It also makes a perfect souvenir!

Primal Pop
What is the first creative thing you have ever done in your life?

Primitive pop, mischievousness, colorful impulses. It is, for example, the memory of sticking stickers on your desk when you were a child, or doodles on your bran.

In other words, it is a bare expression that appealed to my childhood, a reflex to use what resonates in my heart, and at the same time, it is a feeling that will be lost as I mature.
