Pyuupiru


Pyuupiru is a Japanese artist born in Tokyo, where she is currently living and working. Her art work deals with her body as well as gender. She also works with mediums such as costume design, writing, and character design.

Artistic expression

Some of her more acclaimed works are the creation of three dimensional body-based objects that speak both of reality and fiction. Her gender clarification surgery as well as struggles with gender fueled much of her early work. The mix between gender, fashion and body have created a surge in her popularity in recent years. She refers to herself as "an incomparable, transcended-gender existence."
She has exhibited internationally as well as nationally. She exhibited several times with several projects and the Yokohama Triennale, Yokohama Museum of Art as well as Arnhem Fashion Biennale.
