I draw illustrations of animals, mainly birds, with love and care.

I grew up in Kamogawa-shi, Chiba, JAPAN, surrounded by the sea,  mountains, and rice fields and painted animals, plants, and many other  things every week at a painting class. I also lived for four years in  Northern Ireland and was fascinated by sweet songs of blackbirds and the  loveliness of robins there. I feel as if I were playing with birds and  animals when drawing them.

Using oil-based colored pencils, I try to draw animals that are both  realistic and adorable, just like pictures in illustrated reference  books, with clear and vivid colors.
