Originally from Japan, I am a papercut artist and graphic designer, based in, South East Wales, UK.

My artwork is narrative, inspired by the flora and fauna. I love to walk in a meadow, alongside hedgerows, in woodlands, at coasts. It makes me a great pleasure to weave stories from the nature, which is precious and gives me numerous inspirations.

Light and shadow are the fundamental elements for my artwork. I find my papercut method ideal.

The original images are also used as stencils to create screen prints on paper and fabric, and laser cut-out.
