SUNAE and messages of front and back covers
I was born in Iwate. Now, I'm an artist based in Yokohama, Japan. I make art, using shiny colorful sand which is called Sunae in Japan. I'm sandy every day! Since 2007, I've been participating in many projects such as art fairs in Italy and Shanghai, and exhibits in the U.S., France, Switzerland, and Taiwan. I'm in action inside and outside Japan. My ultimate goal is to familiarize people with Sunae around the world!
