Thinking of Japan
— Spirit from Ise —
Inspired by the sunrise I saw in Ise and my love for Japan, this piece reimagines the Hinomaru as a quiet, planetary presence.
Thinking of Japan
— A Place of Freshness —
Inspired by an ancient name for Japan — a land of abundant reed plains and fresh rice ears — this piece carries the clear, life-giving spirit I feel at its roots.

Celebrating Individuality and Playfulness
An illustrator born in Tomakomai, Hokkaido. Her signature mushroom haircut has been with her since her school days.
A childhood calligraphy class introduced her to the expressive world created by dots and lines, and she began to draw. Rooted in nature, living things, and the cosmos, she finds inspiration in the stories born from the people and places she meets, giving them form through the things she makes.

What I Do
Illustration, logos, paintings, hand-lettering.
The forms may vary, but what matters most is giving shape to the moments that move me and the worlds I sense.
Sometimes it is someone's feelings or story; sometimes it is a scene or a sensation of my own.
Every piece is created with care, curiosity, and heart.
