Biography

She grew up free in the Japanese countryside, surrounded by the green of the mountains and the sea. Ever since she was a child, she loved to draw, losing track of time as she sketched countless pictures of animals and flowers.

Her current activities include exhibitions and performances in various places:

・May 2017 - Performance in Times Square, New York, USA
・December 2017 - Mural and Artwork Exhibition at Takeo City Hall
・March 2019 - Performance in Sebastopol, California, USA
・July 2019 - Exhibition and Performance in Chelsea, New York, USA
・August 2022 - Mural Dedication at Ureshino Toyotamahime Shrine
・December 2022 - Exhibition at the Mona Lisa Gallery in Paris
・May 2023 - Exhibition at Huis Ten Bosch
・February 2024 - "Megane Shojo and the Twelve Zodiac Signs" AI-generated Illustration Exhibition at Toyotamahime Shrine
・April 2024 - "Festival of the Nine-headed Dragon" AI-generated Illustration Exhibition at Toyotamahime Shrine

In her paintings, she mainly uses Japanese brushes and sumi ink to express movement and stillness on washi paper through light, shading, and ink bleeding. She hopes that these paintings will purify and refresh your mind by taking you away from your daily life and allowing you to feel the calmness and intensity conveyed through traditional Japanese ink painting.

As a child, she lost not only her beloved father but later her brother and her own children as well. These experiences had a profound impact on her life. Since then, she has always thought about "life and death" and cherishes each personal encounter as a "once-in-a-lifetime meeting."

Her unique worldview will continue to be expressed not only in traditional Japanese ink painting but also in new drawing techniques. She hopes to create something that will touch the hearts of people throughout the ages and around the world. She will use a variety of techniques to create works that will soothe the soul.

Additionally, she decorates the city with flexible art, such as the unified signage for stores along Takeo Onsen Street and the murals at Ureshino Toyotamahime Shrine. She is actively involved both domestically and internationally in calligraphy, illustrations, performances, murals, AI, signage, and the creation of art classroom goods.
