Satoshi Ohno Makes First Appearance in VOGUE JAPAN
The artist discusses his personal salon, creative self-expression, and family in a new interview.
Satoshi Ohno makes his debut appearance in the December issue of VOGUE JAPAN, which hits newsstands on Friday, October 30. Titled "Satoshi Ohno, As He Is. Continuing to Draw, Beyond That," the feature focuses on his ongoing exploration of creative self-expression through art.
In the magazine, Ohno is showcased alongside visuals featuring more than 200 marker pens that he uses daily, as well as colorful fishing lures. The feature highlights his current creative perspective and artistic journey following the conclusion of his activities with Arashi.
During the accompanying interview, Ohno speaks candidly about getting tattoos for the first time. Addressing his body art, he shares a lighthearted family anecdote, stating, "My body is kind of like a canvas, but I did get permission from my parents, after all."
The conversation also delves into the background behind establishing his personal salon, "Sato-Jima SATO-JIMA," and expresses his heartfelt thoughts toward his devoted fans. The interview offers readers a rare look into his current state of mind and ongoing projects.
Beginning at 6:00 PM on the release date of October 30, the official VOGUE JAPAN website will publish web-exclusive interviews, previously unseen photo cuts, and original illustrations. Additionally, the official social media channels will share special footage documenting the creation process of the artwork.
Fans purchasing the magazine at select physical stores and online bookstores will receive limited-edition purchase bonuses, including original postcards and stickers featuring three of Ohno's artworks showcased in the issue. Furthermore, a special temporary exhibition booth celebrating his appearance will open at TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE Shibuya Sakura Stage starting on October 30.
The December issue of VOGUE JAPAN centers broadly on creativity born from unexpected encounters. Alongside Ohno's feature, the publication highlights various creators breaking boundaries in fashion and art, with top model Ida Heiner gracing the cover and main story.
