Kosai Sekine

Kosai Sekine is a Japanese director who produces short films, music videos, and advertisements. Kosai's work is visually engaging and reveals a complex observation and interest in Tokyo culture. He has been involved most recently in "Tokyo Ten" by W+K Tokyo LAB, an independent music label which manages artists such as Hifana, Takagi Masakatsu, and Afra. These are two examples of his work:

Maledict Car - Jemapur

"an intricate visual montage or series of patterns of multiple Tokyo cityscapes. The urban swirl of buildings, neon signs, vending machines, expressways.. a more formal visual pattern like that of a mandala or kaleidoscope"

"we start wandering around Tokyo in search of some truth, but it turns out we come back to the starting point finding nothing but a doubt; people in Tokyo live as if they were circling the same position sitting in a 'Maledict Car'"
