Matsu is more than just a story — it’s an epic universe experience, crafted in the ancient tradition of poetic sagas like The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Tale of the Heike, and brought to life in the lineage of modern mythmakers like J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings), C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia), L. Frank Baum (The Wizard of Oz), and Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland).

​

At its heart, Matsu stands alongside the great contemporary epics — from George Lucas’s Star Wars to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter — offering a universe where wonder, courage, and transformation are central.

​

The soul of Matsu is playful and profound, carrying the whimsy of Shel Silverstein, Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, and Charles Schulz, combined with the inventive puppetry and boundless imagination of Jim Henson.

​

It’s a world shaped by mythic depth, echoing Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey and grounded in deep Japanese cultural roots — drawing inspiration from Akira Kurosawa’s cinematic poetry, Hayao Miyazaki’s enchanted landscapes, Shigeru Mizuki’s yokai spirits, and Stan Sakai’s legendary storytelling.

​

And with a pop culture pulse, Matsu dances between timeless and contemporary, channeling the universal charm of Winnie the Pooh, the wonder of Peter Pan, the playfulness of Pokémon, the energy of Dragon Ball Z, the elemental magic of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the surreal adventure of Adventure Time......
