Japanese. Born in Tokyo, lived in France until the age of 15. After graduating from a national university in Tokyo, I have been working as a certified public accountant. I have a strong interest in Japanese traditional arts, and have practiced Nohgaku (the oldest Japanese theatrical art) and many of my watercolour paintings recreate the stage of Nohgaku. I also use my original tanka as titles for my paintings. I have been in charge of creating covers for many poetry collections. Now, I am in charge of the cover illustration for the haiku collection "Soul Mate," which will be released by Literary Revelations Publisher.
