Spoon & Tamago
Mateusz Urbanowicz, also known as Matto, is a Polish artist and illustrator in Tokyo. He originally moved to Japan to study animation and comics, and worked at Tokyo-based animation film studio CoMix Wave, where he did backgrounds for (among other things) the film Your Name.

In 2017 he left the studio and began working as a freelancer so he could focus on personal projects like Tokyo Storefronts. His latest project is Tokyo at Night, a series of 10 watercolor illustrating the backstreets of Tokyo at night. The 10 illustrations were created along a path from Kudanshita that goes through the neighborhood of Kagurazaka and ends at Waseda.
