WORKS

PLOFILE

Born in Tokyo.

Based in Tokyo, she mainly participates in exhibitions and related art events.
Her works explore the theme of Japanese Painting × Street Art, combining traditional Japanese painting materials such as gold and silver leaf, mineral pigments, and washi paper with visual elements inspired by street culture—such as tagging (letter-based compositions) and urban aesthetics.

By blending the tradition of nihonga—which values natural materials—with the futuristic imagery of street art, she creates works that convey both the refined texture of classic materials and a sense of stylish modernity.
