1. What's your story? Where are you from?I am from Niigata, Japan and was brought up amongst mountains and rice fields. I went to the school of illustration in Tokyo when I was 18 years old. After graduating, I have been working as a freelance illustrator since then. 日本の新潟とい所の出身。山と田んぼに囲まれて育ちました。18歳から東京のイラストの学校に行きました。卒業し、それからはフリーのイラストレーターとして活動しています。
2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I am attracted by casual moments, sceneries seen in daily life. 日常の中で見られる何気ない瞬間、風景に惹かれます。3. What is your favourite medium and why?I use the commercial aqueous pen. Because it is a familiar thing. 市販の水性ペンを使っています。身近にあるから。4. What is your artistic process like?After thinking of what to draw, I outline the draft with a pencil and trace it with a pen. Then, with lines and dots. I describe this drawing process as filling up the surface. I am often asked by many people if I use a ruler. I do not as it becomes slow to draw with one. 生活していて、「あ、これ描こう」と思ったものを、鉛筆で輪郭だけ下書きして、 それをペンでなぞって、あとは線や点で、面を埋めるような感じで描いていきます。よく人に訊かれるのですが、定規は使いません。逆に描くのが遅くなるので。5.
