The Bara-Bara Fishery cushions by Mutsumi Kozasa are a series of pillows of [anatomical fishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair). These aquatic animals definitely look like they're being prepared for sushi since their whole body is cut-up revealing body parts and bones leaving the head and the tail as the only non-exposed parts. It's kind of grim and even a bit morbid but the cartoon quality helps make them amusing and at least it's not grotesque to the point where kids can't see it. Check out the Bara-Bara Fishery cushions by Mutsumi Kozasa for a slightly grotesque, yet surprisingly funny [sashimi-inspired pillow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fish-chips-experience) in the gallery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anatomical Home Decor:** Creating home decor that is inspired by anatomy and nature can provide a unique and interesting touch to any space. - **Cartoon-inspired Design:** Incorporating cartoon-like qualities into product design can provide a playful and fun element to the overall aesthetic. - **Food-inspired Decor:** Exploring food as a source of inspiration for home decor can lead to innovative and unexpected design concepts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can incorporate anatomical and food-inspired design into their product lines to appeal to a wider range of consumers. - **Children's Products:** Creating playful and cartoon-inspired products, like the Bara-Bara Fishery cushions, can attract the attention of children and their parents looking for unique and fun items. - **Art & Design:** A focus on food and anatomy can lead to innovative and creative art and design solutions that challenge traditional concepts and ideas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Sushi-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-suitcases.md) - [Sushi-Inspired Computer Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moushi-mouse.md) - [Life-Sized Meat Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-pillow.md) - [Interchangeable Cushion Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morfius-modular-furniture.md) - [Mochi-Inspired Seating Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mochiinspired-seating.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Transforming Imaginative Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiddie-couch.md) - [Oozing Cake-Like Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roll-furniture.md) - [Sushi-Inspired 3D-Printed Confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-confections.md)
