ABOUT YUM

What is YUM?

YUM is a presence that quietly stays by your side
on sad nights and lonely hours.
Like an old friend
who has been close to you
ever since childhood.

YUM was born slowly, from within the paintings.
Through a long process of creation it gradually changed shape,
and around 2021 it began to be drawn as the character YUM.

01 / 2014

The earliest prototype of YUM begins to appear within the paintings.

It had no name yet — drawn as a white, line-like presence that stays close to people. The mood is a little different, but hints of its budding eyes peek through in its poses and expressions.

02 / 2021

YUM begins to be drawn as a character.

YUM appears clearly within the paintings as an independent presence, now with a name. From there it was shown around the world — New York, Paris, London, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and beyond — and collected across the globe.

03 / What's next

The expression keeps expanding.

Beyond paintings, YUM keeps expanding
into art sofubi, art toys, sculptural works and many kinds of experiences.
The world of YUM will keep widening, little by little.
