I was born in Tokyo, Japan, and studied art at the Bunka Gakuin school in Tokyo, before learning drawing and copperplate engraving at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and the Atelier Contrepoint in Paris. I then worked in several engraving studios in France (Atelier Bo Halbirk, Atelier Empreinte), and Japan (Atelier Vivant). I also took part in several group exhibitions. I also love to cook, especially cakes, and I particularly enjoy teaching children about art and cooking!
