Born and raised in Osaka, Japan, I finished Graduate school of Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Art, Kyoto, having got Master’s degree in Home Economics. I live in Kyoto, Japan, with my husband. I like painting from my childhood. Having raised my sons, I started to pursue my interest in painting in 2003. First, I painted in oil and pastel. And then, now, I found watercolor more attractive to me.
