Born in 1984 in Kawaguchi City, Saitama. Graduated from Tama Art University in 2008 and is currently a corporate worker unrelated to the arts. Visits galleries nearly every weekend. "There are times when upon seeing an exhibited work I can intuitively understand it, while other times will not understand even if it is explained to me. But even so I feel the best part of contemporary art is that 'aha!' moment amidst initial bewilderment."
