Formed in 1999 by artists KAMI and SASU, the unit HITOTZUKI is positioned as a central artist in the early days of street art in Japan. As the artist's name HITOTZUKI (sun and moon) suggests, their works are rooted in the artists' will to create new landscapes and the heat generated by the complex interplay and intersection of seemingly opposing things such as yin and yang, life and death, good and evil, and men and women. While their works have a colorful and pop appearance, they continue to deal with philosophical and universal themes, and are unique in the sense that they have introduced these aspects into the street art world. HITOTZUKI has been a longtime leader of the street art scene and has been featured in exhibitions such as "X-COLOR / Graffiti in Japan" (2005, Contemporary Art Center, Art Tower Mito) and & quot; Roppongi Crossing: Is Art Possible? (2011 / Mori Art Museum), a mural painting realized through crowdfunding by citizens, a window display at GINZA MAISON HERMÈS, and a mural inside the Louis Vuitton Kokura Izutsuya store, among others.
