Traveling with Yoshitomo Nara is a record of the journey that the artist Yoshitomo Nara, a well-known Japanese pop artist, took along with Hideki Toyoshima and graf AtoZ team, and the many others who contributed to the creation of this handmade exhibit AtoZ in Yoshitomo Nara’s hometown of Hirosaki, Japan. As their journey began and the project progressed, more and more people contributed to the project and touched the hearts of the team. The people, the experience, and the works all came together and settled at the AtoZ exhibit in his hometown of Hirosaki. With Nara as their leader, this large creation began taking form. “It is like making friends…” is what Nara said about the internal changes taking place within himself. He says softly, “if you say it positively, I guess I’ve matured.” And adds, “if you say it negatively, I started putting others before myself too much…” This personal documentary allows one to get a glimpse of the artist’s true nature, creation process, where Yoshitomo Nara the person came from and where he stands now.
