Antitail

Antitail is a unit formed in 2025 by Takashi Kunitani, who creates spatial environments using materials such as neon tubes, and doll artist Tomoko Hashimoto.

The unit name “Antitail” is originally refers to a phenomenon in which a comet’s tail—normally extending away from the Sun—appears to stretch toward it. This rare occurrence arises from the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth, and the comet, and is a type of optical illusion that occurs when the emitted dust appears, from Earth’s perspective, on the Sun-facing side.
