Since May 2024, KODANSHA has teamed up with HERALBONY on projects to bring the stories of artists with disabilities to the world and contribute to fostering free and diverse values. The latest collaboration will be launched in October.
In this collaboration, four HERALBONY’s contracted artists use their original art to decorate figures of Tachikoma, a character from the anime series of KODANSHA’s hit sci-fi series THE GHOST IN THE SHELL.
Members of the public will get to see these masterpieces featuring Tachikoma from GHOST IN THE SHELL SAC_2045 at KODANSHA HOUSE, a pop-up event providing an immersive experience of popular KODANSHA manga that will be held in SoHo, New York City from October 4 EDT. The HERALBONY’s contracted artists’ ghosts are part of a larger exhibit that will draw visitors into THE GHOST IN THE SHELL’s world.
This project is part of KODANSHA’s ongoing efforts to contribute to fostering free and diverse values by weaving stories with creators who break all barriers through the power of expression. As KODANSHA continues to work with HERALBONY to change society’s perception of “disability” through methods that have never been seen before, the world can be sure that there will be more amazing stories to come.
