(Biography)

I was born in downtown Tokyo in1967. My family moved around several places in my childhood. I grown up mainly in the southernmost of the four main islands of Japan.

 

After the Art course in the high school, I returned to the capital to study at Tokyo University of the Arts (painting department). I studied there for 6 years, and got a Bachelor's and Master's degree of Fine Arts.

 

During my 20's, I concerned with various technical jobs such as wall painting for shop, scene painting for photographing, Architects' models, stage setting in TV station, and so on. In those days, I traveled twice in Asian countries (mainly India) for a year in total. I think those trips have influenced on my life significantly. 

 

From 2002, I stayed in The Netherlands for two years as a researcher of the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Subsequently, I participated several A-I-R programes in Europe. Going and returning between the East and West suggested me new perspectives. Currently, I live in Yokohama (south neighbor of Tokyo) and create works that takes up mapping, monument, geography, memory, history, belief, etc... as its subject.
