Work in Gifu

I grew up in Gifu Prefecture in Japan, where there is a lot of green, natural areas.
Japanese painting materials are made from our county’s rich nature.
I respect craftsman who makes these materials, and their techniques.
Flowers, animals, people…these are all part of nature.
I want to draw their way of life.
