Yasuto Sasada is a Japanese artist equipped with a collection of super thin 0.3 coloured ball-point pens who creates imaginative and breathtaking pieces that combine elements of ancient beliefs and mythology. He is set to collaborate with Ground Y from January 11.
On their website, Ground Y describes themselves as proposing a new fashion concept – formed of both a genderless and ageless style – through synchronizing different aspects of Yohji Yamamoto. This is the brand’s fourth collaboration, on from their geisha series in 2014, girl series in 2015 and camouflage series in 2016.
The new theme Mikkyō or “esoteric Buddhism” was created by Yasuto Sasada who took inspiration from saṃsāra―the six realms of existence―and the bird deity Garuda. Filipino-Japanese actress Elaiza Ikeda and Japanese actor and model Sho Kiyohara feature in the collection’s promotional visuals. A promotional video was also posted across Ground Y’s official social media pages.
This collection is also available as part of the toy line BE@RBRICK in limited quantities. An exhibition entitled Y will also take place in Ginza with products based around the letter “Y” including the one in Yasuto Sasada’s name as well as Ground Y.

The newest Yohji Yamamoto Ground Y collection was released on January 21, 2022. The spring/summer items made their first appearance in a key visual featuring actors Mai Fukagawa and Mahiro Takasugi. The concept for the new collection is ‘Beyond Boundaries.’ By reconstructing existing borders to create a hectic visual cacophony, Yamamoto has also been deeply inspired by the stories of Japan’s literary giants such as Natsume Souseki and Dazai Osamu.
The models seen in the key visual are Mai Fukagawa and Mahiro Takasugi, both of whom are active in popular dramas and films. Commentary from both actors can be seen on the official Ground Y YouTube channel, so be sure to give it a watch! The visuals for this collection were shot under the direction of photographer Masatoshi Yamashiro and stylist Takashi Mizuguchi at the Jiyu Gakuen Girls’ School, which was designed by American master Frank Lloyd Wright in 1921 and has been designated as an important cultural property.Information
