Cartoonist and artist Yokoyama Yuichi is known for his depictions of people and landscapes that look like scenes from the distant future or from an entirely different planet and universe. His free-spirited ideas, detailed compositions, and drawing prowess have been immensely popular, not only among creators of art and manga but in a variety of creative fields, including architecture, theater, and music. For the Tokiwabashi Project, Yokoyama created a painting based on the theme of Tokiwabashi, the birthplace of public bathhouses in Japan. In the public bathhouse depicted by Yokoyama, people from all walks of life gather together, transcending time and region. Captured here is the vision of the global utopia that Tokiwabashi advocates.
