Ray Kudo is a neon artist, based in Kyoto, Japan. His fascination with neon lights began as a teenager, and in 2017, he embarked on his journey, traveling to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, and Singapore to capture the beauty of neon lights. Later, Ray apprenticed in California, Ukraine, and Japan, fully immersing himself in the craft of neon-making. In 2024, Ray founded Hyakki Yako, a neon sign studio, where I was commissioned to create the visual identity, including posters, business cards, and website design.
