Let's enjoy art !
HANASAKA MURAL is art that anyone can easily enjoy. Art is not something to be appreciated only in museums, nor something that belongs only to someone else. Mural, wall art, is still unfamiliar in Japan, but we hope that many works of art will be born from this place and bloom in the world. With this in mind, we have named the project HANASAKA which means “to make flowers bloom” in Japanese. YANMAR has been supporting the next generation of athletes, and now we are expanding our support to artists who inspire people with our HANASAKA MURAL.

CURRENT WORK

Neon Bloom

Artist Comment

The artwork is inspired by the spirit of Cerezo Osaka and the vibrant energy of the city. It reimagines the team's iconic wolf mascot as a cybernetic guardian, surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms. Painted in bold and futuristic tones extracted from Cerezo Osaka's distinctive palette, this piece fuses traditional Japanese symbolism with the aesthetics of the digital age. It is envisioned as a dynamic tribute to the strong and proud identity of both the team and the region.

About the work

Neon Bloom, painted by Key Detail, who is also well-versed in architecture, is filled with his unique obsession to detail.
The seemingly intricately combined colors and patterns are each expressed with a delicate sense of color and can control, making it a work unique to HANASAKA MURAL, a canvas where region, culture, and sports intersect.
