Born in Nagano Japan. Painter who excretes both polarity of things in black and white. Her roots lie in her father, a former art dealer. Struggling with the contradictions in the world, spent her teenage years trying to find a balance between body and soul by drawing. Simplifying concepts and interpretations by making them monochrome, she uses black and white to express the contrast of yin and yang and contrast. The intention of the work is to make the viewer aware of the acceptance of polarity as well as mesothece (the in-between). Installations are also done, with an emphasis on the creation of a world view in the exhibition. In 2022, with an exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre, she began to create works that combine upcycling of bamboo and mourning dress with contemporary art, which will be widely disseminated both domestically and internationally. A documentary film on the production process will soon be shown on French television and at the Musée du Quai Branly.
