Kaki catalogue
Kaki / かき / the note behind the catalogue
Kaki is a curated gallery of digital interfaces and a small creative playground. It keeps the details worth studying close enough to touch.
Meet the workshopA gallery for what stays with you
Kaki files the transitions, structures, and small acts of feedback that are easy to miss: a footer that points somewhere, a number that rolls instead of changing, a page that tells you where you are without interrupting the reading.
It is not a screenshot wall or a feed. Each entry pairs an original Kaki reconstruction with a reason for looking and a visible account of where the idea came from.
THE WORKBENCH / 02
The observation, reconstruction, source, and boundary travel together. Nothing gets filed alone.
Notice the decision, gesture, or rhythm that deserves a second look.

show the edgeTHE FILING RULE / 03
The label changes before the story begins, so original work and observed inspiration can never drift into one another.
Interfaces designed and prototyped by Kaki with fictional data. The fiction is named plainly and Kaki owns the reconstruction.
A technique noticed in a real product, filed with its creator and canonical source. Kaki studies the idea through original code and media.
THE NAME / 04
Kaki takes its name from the Japanese word for persimmon. The same sound also suggests drawing and making through 描き, and writing through 書き.
They are different words written with different kanji. The fruit is the name; drawing and writing are the quiet secondary wordplay.
THE STUDIO / 05
Kaki is a small, owner-curated study. The collection grows carefully, with room for unfinished questions, clear attribution, accessible interaction, and honest limits.
