My Portfolio
Welcome to my portfolio, where you will find a selection of my work and projects that will allow you to explore the unique characteristics of my work.
What is Ooku?
Ooku was the private living space of the shogun and daimyo, located in the castles of daimyo families, including Edo Castle, during the Edo period, and was also the area where their women lived.
In particular, the Ooku of Edo Castle was a representative example of the "okumuki" (inner palace) which was the counterpart to the "omote" (front), the political center, and was where the shogun's family, concubines, and maids lived.
While films and television dramas based on the Ooku are based on historical facts, many of them are produced as entertainment works that emphasize human drama, power struggles, romance, and the like.
Below are some examples of works that actually use the costumes available in our studio.
2003 Fuji TV version of "Ooku"

There are also costumes used in many other productions.
