I was born and raised in Tokyo, where my passion for Nihonga art was kindled early in life. I began studying Nihonga at age six under a skilled Nihonga artist, a foundation that has shaped my artistic journey. For more than 15 years, I have taught Nihonga in New York and Tokyo, and I have held around 50 solo and group exhibitions in Japan and the US. I now offer bilingual Nihonga lessons at my studio, inviting art enthusiasts to explore this traditional art form in an inspiring setting.
