Hifana Wamono Music Video

Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, 2005

Description

The beat junkies duo of Hifana set sail as two determined fishermen in hopes of a big “TAIRYO” catch in this epic and surreal Japanese folklore between man and his beats against the raging waves and stormy seas in the land of WAMONO.

Juror Notes

Beautiful!
All about the craft.
Unique to the artist.
Good example of using graphic language for storytelling. You don’t have to use live action.
Loaded with cultural references.
