Thank you very much to you , too!!!

I’m so glad it arrived safely. Thank you so much for your support!

Oh no! 😱Hope it gets better soon🤞

Thank you Sam! I’m relieved to finally have everything taken care of. I hope everything arrives safely!

Thank you all for waiting! Except for the three people whose addresses were incomplete, all rewards have been shipped. I hope they arrive safely and without any issues!

I couldn’t ship everything in November because the last days fell on a weekend 💦
But all labels are on, so now it’s just drop-off or pickup!
It’s a big batch, but everything should go out in the next couple of days.
Thanks for your patience! 📦✨

While eagerly waiting for the printed books to arrive, I’m creating something special for all my supporters — a mini “Thank You Scroll,” or as I call it, the “Thanks Roll,” filled with gratitude.

I believe everyone has their own boundaries regarding these technologies, and that’s absolutely fine.
Please feel free to see it however you feel comfortable; I just hope my intentions as an artist come through.

I completely understand your concern, and I truly respect your point of view.
The impact of AI on artists is something I take seriously as well.
In my case, the original work and materials were created entirely by myself — I only experimented with a small tool in a limited way.

That kind of reaction honestly feels a bit intimidating, but I still respect everyone’s choice.
I just hope my work can be seen for its true value.

I honestly just wanted to share my work — the book of my yokai dolls — and have people appreciate it for what it is.
It makes me sad that something as small as trying an app could make someone reconsider their support.

Sorry if that rubbed anyone the wrong way! It was just a quick post using an old image — I was just playing around with an app. I’m a CGI artist, and I’m usually not into AI, but I think it’s fine to have a little fun with it sometimes.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for supporting my yokai doll art book — it’s finally happening! The books are almost ready to ship.Some backers haven’t added their shipping addresses yet. If that’s you, please update your Kickstarter profile or message me soon so your book won’t miss the shipment.🙏

Look so cool one!!!👍👍👍

Finished all the packaging!!
Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the printed books and prints to arrive!

🖤🖤🖤beautiful illustrations ！

The 25 Bakezōri reward figures are finally complete! The acrylic keychains have also arrived — now I’m just waiting for the books and postcards to come back from the printer. Starting next week, I’ll begin packing preparations like wrapping and addressing. Just a little more to go — I’ll do my best!

I always read your update posts, and your project is truly wonderful! The content, the rewards — everything is so well-crafted and complete. I’m deeply moved and truly impressed.

Recently my Bluesky messages stopped working. I can still make posts and comments, but I can’t open messages—it asks for age verification, and even after resetting, it doesn’t work. Now it’s even asking me to take a face recognition photo. Is this some kind of spam? It’s scary 😱

Hello! My yokai book is almost finalized and I remade the Nuppeppō for book. I tried using a new squishy material for texture, but it didn’t work well with an armature. The flocking powder made it look messy, but luckily I managed to take good photos before coating, so those will go in the book.

If you need to reach me, please send me a message on Instagram or X,please.🙏I just checked Facebook, but the U.S. customs regulations seem really strict. I’m also starting to worry whether the shipping costs will be enough when I send things out to everyone.

Hi Sam. Did you give me some messages??
Somehow, I can’t open any messages on bluesky.😭 I keep getting redirected to the age verification page and asked to confirm, but no matter how many times I set it, it keeps asking me to do it again.
