My art reflects a sense of simplicity and harmony with nature. By using recycled materials to create my prints, I hope to bring attention to the importance of sustainability and the need to protect our environment.
As a Japanese artist, I draw inspiration from the traditional Japanese partitions and doors, which feature four rectangles. In my work, I create unique drypoint prints using old milk cartons as plates. The lines in my prints divide the plate into four sections, revealing the original rectangular shape. I use blank space as an important feature in my art, as it is in many traditional Japanese artworks.

Origami was very popular at Japan Travel Fair
Children are amazing!
I love visiting schools and school holiday care centres.
We always have fun and some kids are amazing.
For today’s workshop, I brought different-sized paper.
The smallest I brought was 3x3cm.
But some children kept challenging themselves smaller and smaller!
Such amazing talented kids and everyone has crowded around and cheered them.
Looking forward to seeing them again soon.
