About me
I'm an artist based in Tokyo, Japan and Minnesota, USA.
Growing up watching films and drawing, I was later inspired by ukiyo-e and contemporary Japanese lithographs to move into art professionally. My work now pulls from numerous influences—film, ukiyo-e, gritty Tokyo streets, and contemporary Japanese and American pop culture.
