Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at the George Washington University Graduated from the Department of Economics at Tohoku Gakuin University * Although I was familiar with artistic expression from an early age, my parents were opposed to my going to an art college. Therefore, I graduated from the economics department of the Faculty of Economics and worked as an accountant in a company for three years. However, I could not give up my dream of a creative career, so I moved to an advertising design office, where I worked on advertising planning and design for major companies such as Panasonic. She then moved to Washington, DC to study fine art. Around 1997, I started working as a web designer, which was still rare at that time. After returning to Japan, health problems and an accident forced him to temporarily halt his creative activities, but he resumed presenting his art in 2020 after a brief hiatus, and continues to do so today.
