Born in 1984 in Nagano Prefecture. Graduated from Joshibi University of Art and Design Junior College. Currently, she is a specially invited professor at Joshibi University of Art and Design and a part-time lecturer at Tokyo University of the Arts. His childhood experiences of interacting with living creatures in rich natural environments and witnessing their deaths up close have shaped his unique view of life and death. This has led him to create works oriented toward the beauty of death. While a student at Joshibi Junior College of Art and Design, she began making copperplate prints, and at the age of 20, her work "49 Days" was acclaimed for its outstanding technique and style, paving the way for her to become a professional.
