The Fewture shop specialises in witty creature designs. It sells cutesy dolls and plastic horror characters by home-grown designers. The owner Hiromi Suzuki organizes regular events, where designers and collectors can meet. Fewture hires out display cases for collectors’ shows and single pieces by Tokyo’s top-designers like Yashushi Nirasawa. Yashushi has been influenced by the Japanese superhero series ‘Kamen Raida’ since his childhood. Besides alien and horror b-movies, Nirasawa is inspired by music. Yashushi’s favourites are punk, Kiss, Nina Hagen and Iggy Pop, after whose torso he designed a character for the Japanese animation-series ‘Devilman’. Nirasawa started as an illustrator and worked with various manga masters, before he went freelance as a creature designer. He is best known outside Japan for his merchandising figures for Marilyn Manson. Manson was very interested in Nirasawa’s design details, whilst Nirasawa is also a fan of Manson’s music. At the Fewture shop they exhibit a Manson sculpture designed by Nirasawa.
