Tokyo Night Life
To reflect the modern Japan all Anime fans like me have grown up enjoying.The colors I chose for this collection were vibrant, complementing the natural wood, as well as the black and white touches. I used an old wooden dipping bowl and bamboo sticks previously used for planters, fluorescent acrylic colors to complement the sushi takeout container, disposable chopsticks, and the picture frames for Yayoi Kusama art pieces.
This sushi takeout container and disposable chopsticks were painted with fluorescent colors to complement the bamboo sticks, and the picture frames for Yayoi Kusama art pieces. Being our home’s favorite takeout, one of those disposable containers had to make it to this eclectic wall art collection displayed in our livingroom for the family to see.
Cassette tapes with vibrant and eye-catching pop colors not only serve as a stylish accessory, but also bring a nostalgic and retro vibe to this setting. The striking hues of these cassettes effortlessly blend with the collection, making them an ideal choice to make a statement.
