Jin Katagiri Well-known actor, former member of the comedy group Rahmens, and clay artist Hi, I’m Jin Katagiri, one of the Japanese comedy duo the Rahmens. I’m the one with frizzy, ramen- like hair. Although I perform as a Rahmen, I do not eat ramen that often. I’m not comfortable with the eccentric atmosphere of ramen specialty shops. So, for this project, I aimed to create a bowl that makes you uncomfortable. First, you can see your server’s thumbs in the soup! Then, when you are about to finish the soup, you discover a bunch of crimpy hair at the bottom of bowl! But, actually, that’s not hair—it’s just my face! Did I succeed in creating a bowl full of surprises? I sincerely hope a professional ramen chef uses my bowl.
