Description
Hello! I’m a Japanese-American artist born in Tokyo, and spent my life back and forth between Japan and Washington State, USA.
I love being creative, and making art for people that hopefully creates a long-lasting ripple effect in their life.
For the last six years, I’ve been working at a busy tattoo shop in Shibuya, Tokyo, meeting and tattooing folx from all over the world. Now Im privileged to have the opportunity to explore the world myself!
Being someone who enjoys change and newness, I’ve experienced all sorts of jobs that may prove helpful - volunteering & working at a Children’s Museum, tending to hostels, reception and cleaning at the tattoo studio, and Japanese-English translating. I’m an adaptable ADHDer/Libra, always eager to learn new skills!
I’m looking forward to a slower pace, meeting kind people, beautiful views, and giving back to the community. I care a lot about mutual respect, communication, and softness.
