I am a geomatics / software engineer and always struggling to find a time for the artworks between my busy schedules. The art is my lifetime hobby and dream, but had not been quite persistent. In 2005, I had a near-death experience, but I somehow had pulled out of it. The incident could be fortunate, in a way, as my whole perspective toward life has somehow changed. I cannot stop feeling that I am still here for some reason, and it is my destiny to find it. As I am sure, at least, the art has been my passion throughout my life, I came to conclusion that I am left here to pursue my own creation, and doing so actively and diligently since.

I am an extremely solitude person, and I do not prefer socialize, if I have a choice. I fear for painful world we live in. At least I am safe in my little world. I have believed that I try to communicate my opinion and emotion with the others though my artworks, but recently, I have noticed that it may not be a case. I do my artworks mainly to meet myself, and they (many me) often overwelm me. I even sob sometimes. The artwork becomes more and more essential part of me for a survival.

Many asked me why I do such extreme art works – either very painful or extremely purely beautiful (like fairy tale story), but the answer is so obvious; It is actually the pain that drives me to strong longing to absolute purity.

I cannot tell what style my artworks belong to, but it is not a matter after all.

I am currently a resident of Alberta, Canada, but my heart never has left her home country, Japan. I was born and raised by the beautiful silver beach, and it acts like oasis on desert. The nostalgia is sometime very overwhelming. I am still solidly made up by the culture and philosophy of Japan, and it is quite surprising to find how little I had adapted with western society even after so many years. Japanese cultural influence on my artworks is obvious whatever I do.
