1984 Born in Saitama,Japan.
2006 Graduated from Digital media design Course, ASAGAYA College of Art and Design.
I am a contemporary artist from Japan. Through my work, such as documentary videos and performance art, I try to consider various racial issues and the problems which affect both developing and developed nations. I draw on my own experiences for inspiration. For example, when I was a student I visited various South-East Asian tribal villages in more than 30 different places. I lived with various tribes and was shocked by the reality of their lives and the serious, cruel problems they have to contend with. However, it's hard for only one person to make a difference and really help solve these problems. When we examine such problems, typically we can find similar issues in developed nations.
