#01 [Amazing people in the world of SOFUBI] The realm of special makeup! The world of horror coloring and painting by Katsuya Sakurai (Toyohashi City, "KAKKOWARAI ZAKKA)

This time, he finally made an appearance! We visited the store and workshop of "KAKKOWARAI ZAKKATEN", the creator of "Yoshiko"!

The store is located in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, and it is an addictive store full of personality. The representative work, "Yoshiko", is one of the most popular horror SOFUBI and is also popular overseas.

"Yoshiko" is a SOFUBI filled with elements that remind us of old Japanese monsters. It is a mix of "Okappa-head" (Bob hair with short bang. Old Japanese popular hair-style for girls), one-eyed, slit-mouthed woman, "Ishimatsu" doll, and more. Surprisingly, since it is a Japanese "Yokai"(folklore creatures), it goes very well with the four seasons in Japan and looks great in photos.

We were also given a demonstration on how he color "Yoshiko. The work is filled with a lot of attention to detail, including how to create a sense of horror and aging paint.

He also paints his own cars and motorcycles to give the a rusty, used look, so he paints not only SOFUBI, but also "everything around him"!

He is a very interesting artist.

This is the online store of "Kakkowarai"-san. He also sell a variety of horror goods and original apparel.
