Kumono Shingou
A collection of 100 editions of generative art released as part of "The Tokyo Collection" with Bright Moments, May 2023. The title, given by Qubibi, a fellow Japanese generative artist, means "Cloud Signal" and is taken from a poem by Kenji Miyazawa.
The collections started to mint yesterday; here are some of my favorite reveals so far:
