Hideshi Yoshida - CEOは,朝のコーヒーを飲みながら、今日はどんな奇跡を起こそうかと考える (The CEO, while drinking morning coffee, contemplates what miracles might happen today)

Contemporary Woodblock Print

An incredible & charming masterpiece printed in precision detail on delicate gampi Japanese paper. Set within his Sci-Fi world of Agnahuecom-Land and FROSKEY Inc., the CEO, whilst enjoying his morning coffee, contemplates the day ahead. Hideshi Yoshida comments:

FROSKEY 社の役員については謎が多いことで有名である。CEOの名前はFroskey氏と いうらしいのだが、それでさえ本名であるかどうか疑わしい。しかも社内ではうさぎ型の パワードスーツを着ているという噂まである。社長については名前さえも公表されていな い。(The executives of FROSKEY Inc. are famously shrouded in mystery. The CEO is said to go by the name Mr. Froskey, but even that is suspected to be a pseudonym. There are even rumours that within the company, he wears a rabbit-shaped powered suit. As for the president, not even their name has been disclosed).
