Hello, nice to meet you!
I love writing and Painting more than anything else.Since I was a little girl,I have always loved them.My dream as a junior high school student was to publish my writings and Painting in a book and deliver them to people who need them.
After graduating from Tama Art University in 1998, I continued writing and Painting.
In 2012, I published a picture book, "
Anherica No Sentaku(Angelica's Choice​)".

This picture book is distributed in 150 libraries in Japan.

In 2022, I published a picture book, "Shinarai Sekai (The Unknown World)". This is a little story about the sacred beasts. I published this picture book as an e-book because I wanted people all over the world could read it.
Then, I am planning to publish a picture book, "Lao kara todokemono (Delivery from Lao)".

It took me about two years to complete this picture book.

"The Unknown World
-Shiranai Sekai-"

Most of my works are hand drawn. Recently, some are combined with digital.

There are wide range of variations in my works, from colorful ones to black-and-white, sketch-like ones.
This is because I change my style according to the theme that I want to communicate.


My imagination has no limits.
It is a great pleasure for me to be able to share my works with you all.
I swear that I will continue my creative activities in a happy spirit!
