Mystic Forms

Mystic Forms MYSTIC FORMS is a hand crafted jewellery collection by a London-based Japanese artist Akiko Ban, co-

Started as an artistic research project by a London-based visual artist Akiko Ban in collaboration with a digital media designer Taiyo Nagano, MYSTIC FORMS is an experimental jewellery brand inspired by the 'mystic forms' found all around the world. Akiko is a practice artist originally from Tokyo known for her lively drawings and sculptures that seek to establish a primitive, naturalistic and spi

ritual view of the world. In the process of creating this ‘Wearable Art’, she aims to create a special ritualistic and theatrical art object that acts as a prop and converts the wearer into an art piece themselves. Exploring the relationship between art and body is one of the research areas pursued by Akiko in her art practice. She has previously collaborated with Japanese fashion brand ‘matohu’ and has also worked with choreographers and contemporary dancers. For this project, she has chosen jewellery as her medium, to demonstrate her belief that art should be more accessible, personal and enjoyable for everyone. MYSTIC FORMS strives for a new approach exploring the boundaries between art and fashion. Akiko holds a MFA in Sculpture from Slade School of Fine Art and a BA in Drawing from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) . Her works have been exhibited internationally and her recent projects include the collaboration with Basement Jaxx and the legendary Japanese animation Neon Genesis Evangelion. Her work ‘Sky Goddess’ was selected for RA summer show in 2016. Taiyo is a graphic and digital media designer originally from Tokyo and he is an integral part of MYSTIC FORMS as a creative director. He is the founder of the east London design studio Tamassy Creative which he set up in 2010. He holds an MA in Digital Arts from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) and BA in International Studies from Meijigakuin University in Japan.


ミスティック・フォームズ：ロンドン在住の現代美術作家、播安芸子とデザイナー、長野大洋によって２０１５年にスタートしたジュエリーブランド。

MYSTIC FORMSとは「神秘的な形状、儀礼」を意味する。現代美術作家である播の制作テーマのひとつ、「アートと身体の関わり」の探求から派生したプロジェクトであり、ビジュアルデザイナー長野によるグラフィカルな装飾が加わったその作品は「WEARABLE ART（身につけるアート）」と位置付けられている。

目指すのは身につけた人の存在自体がセルフステートメントとなり、アート作品と化すようなプロップを完成させること。まとうことで高揚感を得て、自己のオリジナリティを賛美できるようなアクセサリーを創作するというコンセプトが込められている。

インスピレーションは旅先で見つけた世界中の「神秘的なフォーム」。それにロンドンと東京のポップカルチャーがミックスされたエッジの効いたデザインは早くも注目を集め、ロンドンのテート美術館、大英博物館やファッション&テキスタイルミュージアムをはじめ国内外で販売されている。

Kyōsai’s World: The Israel Goldman Collection
During our recent time in Tokyo, we visited the exhibition of Kawanabe Kyosai at the Suntory Museum of Art — and it felt incredibly special to experience his work in person.

Kyosai’s world is rich with imagination, humour, and extraordinary technique, spanning everything from playful caricatures to powerful depictions of animals, spirits, and deities👹🐸

We first discovered Kyosai through our collaboration with the British Museum, where we created a bespoke piece inspired by his Waseda Theatre Painting, shown in the Manga exhibition in 2019.

Seeing his works again — this time in Tokyo — felt like reconnecting with a source of inspiration that has quietly shaped our creative journey.

Moments like this remind us how deeply art can travel across time, place, and practice ✨
