Currently a member of the Futaba Calligraphy Society, studying under Mr. Soryu Takeda.
- Certified Master Calligrapher

While exploring calligraphy and creating works of art, he also taught himself graphics and worked for
a design company. After that, he worked in architecture, interior design, website production, etc.,
while working as a calligrapher and artist.
I imagine the meaning of the kanji and drop the shape of the kanji into the Art.
I aim to convey the meaning of the kanji through my work, so that even if the words are different,
the work will be "understandable".
I create works in sumi ink, in color, and sometimes in three-dimensional.
