The Japan Times spoke with Junji Ito who delved into the pillars from which it arises Uzumaki which focuses on human anxiety through corporeality. He also briefly discussed the inspirations that have influenced his style.
“I believe that the human body, with its complex and incomprehensible mind, forms the basis of all horror. Anxiety is an emotion that all animals feel, but the anxiety that humans feel, with our highly evolved brains, is unfathomable. The human body is a symbol of that unfathomable immensity”pointing out why the body and its components are so important in his illustration.
“Our minds can become distorted if we place unreasonable expectations on others or strive to live up to theirs, fostering an excessive feeling of inferiority. I think a common trait among my characters is their dependency, which can lead to madness and psychosis.”Ito has a clear ideology that he reflects in each of his stories, and in case you had any doubts, now you know. Anxiety and expectations are what make the characters’ minds explode.
