In charge of :
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!

I've wanted to be a manga artist who doesn't "draw",but I could draw my first manga at Iruka M.B.A. and take part in this great project. It was nice I didn't give up wishing to be a manga artist. I'll keep trying my best as a manga artist in my spare times.
