My art is mixed with many different things, for example "old" and "new", "Japanese" and "Western", "cute" and "strange", and so on. I think all of them are great, and their coexistence is also very important. thoughts, feelings, histories and environments are added into them, my art work is created like this.
It will be pleasure for me if people can get interests in various cultures and their harmony.
hope you enjoy my art!
