作りたいものは、見ている人を癒す妖精たち。
光に溢れるモノ。
Born in Yokohama in 1982.
Since I was a child, I grew up surrounded by many fantasy books such as "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Tales from Earthsea", and "Momo".
One day, a friend of mine invited me to a wool doll artist IKKA's class, and I fell in love with the fairies that IKKA created, so I started attending the class.
Around 2016, I started participating in joint exhibitions of wool felt artists and handmade events.
In the summer of 2017, I planned and held "Kokorono me de Miru Bokura no Sekai", an exhibition of a series of photographs of merrybell's wool unicorns taken by professional photographer/photographer TK, in my hometown of Yokohama.
In the 2018 iPhone case exhibition, "A Dream Spreading from the Palm of Your Hand" won the award for best work.
In the winter of 2019, I and AIKA, who creates paintings with wool, planned a new art duo exhibition, "Resonance," in which they combined wool dolls against a background of wool paintings, and held it in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
In the spring of 2020, he was selected for the AJC Creators Contest.
What I want to create are fairies that heal the viewer.
Things overflowing with light.
