Born in 1959 Yanaka, Tokyo, Japan
Okoshi-bumi (three dimensional paper art) is related to folding fans and furoshiki, wrapping cloth, which follows the Japanese phrase "open to use and fold to store".
His original style incorporates Japanese tastes and the four seasons into greeting cards, while cherishing the simplicity of papers spun by human warmth that is still alive at downtown Yanaka, in an atmosphere that admires the artisan skill. His diverse works offer seasonal taste with town scenes recalling fond memories of everyday Japanese life and culture.
