I was born in Shizuoka, currently based in Tokyo, Japan. After I graduated from art school, I continued experimenting with various art - illustration, design, music, etc. But I found best way to express myself through the world of photography.

 

I find inspiration in paintings, music, and movies – old paintings and classic picture books in particular, but my most creative ideas come from my childhood memories and dreams. Some of my work are self-portraits, something I do not consider narcissistic, but rather an adventure in self-discovery that often has the benefit of being "therapeutic" as well.

 

I love to make collaborative work with talented people. my friends, musicians and performers - they're helping my creativity as well.
