Playing time (2018)
Original artwork by Kosuke Hayashi
Watercolor and poster color on paper
Artwork size: 23 × 34.5 cm
Optional frame size: 40 × 50 cm (oak wood with white mat)
Playing time is an original painting by Kosuke Hayashi, created in 2018 using transparent watercolor and Nicker Poster Color on paper. Subtle in tone and rich in atmosphere, this work showcases the artist’s refined sense of light and composition — qualities that also define his celebrated background art for Japanese animation.
Kosuke Hayashi is currently part of the background team at Studio Ghibli, where he contributed to The Boy and the Heron (2023) among other acclaimed films. His original works, like Playing time, offer a glimpse into the painterly thinking behind these cinematic worlds.
