About
I moved from Tokyo to New York in the end of 2010 and have worked on projects such as advertisement, CD packaging, carpet textile designs, newspaper columns illustrations, and T-shirt designs in the United States and abroad since then, with Clients include: McDonald's, Nokia Corporation, Sanrio Company, Ltd., Camel (R.J. Reynolds), Asahi Newspaper (the second most circulated national newspaper in Japan), and WFMU radio.
My first artistic influence was Japanese traditional stencil dyeing. After years of experimentation, I found my current style of papercut mixed with collage. All of my works are created with a cutting knife, paper and magazine pages or photos I take. -
