The incredible work of costume designer, set designer and director,
Eiko Ishioka.
A revolutionary artist whose internationally acclaimed work for stage, screen, advertising and print media has made her one of the premier visual artists...

Like all great artists of the world, Eiko understands what is going on in other cultures besides her own, and by immersing herself in them, she is able to create works that are unique blends. Her work transcends boundaries on many levels, since she refuses to stick to one particular medium or set convention.
