obinrin is a vibrant celebration of the multifaceted essence of women from diverse cultural backgrounds, delving into the many ways we express ourselves—energetically, physically, and beyond. We are currently exploring the rich tapestry of identities particularly within the Black and Japanese female experience from a whimsical, tactile, and jovial lens. From the bold and assertive to the soft and contemplative, each portrayal encapsulates the diversity of narratives and perspectives that define Black and Japanese womanhood. obinrin invites viewers to embrace the complexities and beauty of Black and Japanese women, offering a poignant reflection of their power and presence in the world.
