Currently in its 38th iteration, each month Yoshida turns her creativity to a different Japanese celebrity, rendering them into works of art using mostly analog techniques. Some are utterly simple, leaving you wondering, “why didn’t I think of that” while others are meticulously crafted to a level verging on compulsion.

Each month a new spread appears in the magazine but you can also follow along on Yuni Yoshida’s Instagram account.
