Tanaami has proven himself as a leading figure in Japanese commercial art through a career that has spanned decades. His works are now in the collections of major art museums around the world, and his reputation continues to grow on the international art scene. His creations encompass a wide range of media, including graphic art, painting, sculpture, and animation.

For this collaboration, the Ground Y team has picked a selection of Tanaami's artworks produced between the '60s and '80s. The collection incorporates pop art and surrealistic pieces by Tanaami into garments that highlight the essence of his work.

By fusing Tanaami’s artistry with Ground Y's creations, we have transformed his work into wearable art.
