Born in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from the affiliated high school of Joshibi University of Art and Design, I studied art education at Musashino Art Junior College. I began my career as a kimono painter, and later continued my academic studies at the Faculty of Humanities at Meisei University.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of educational settings—including special needs schools, elementary and junior high schools—and also operated my own early childhood education program. I have served as both an art teacher and a instructor in early childhood education for many years.
Today, I focus on creating artworks that reflect the perspectives and sensitivities I have cultivated through decades of teaching. My style is characterized by free and expressive forms, unrestricted by specific genres. I regularly exhibit in group shows at galleries in Ginza, including Yoseido Gallery, Atelier Suzuki, and Arai Gallery.
