  • About

    Japanese artist/filmmaker based in Lisbon, Portugal. Has been living in Europe for 25 years.

    Speaks English, Portuguese and Japanese. Also speaks some Italian.

    Loves nature, ocean, trees, flowers.

    And some poetry.

    A quote

    To see a World in a Grain of Sand

    And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

    Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

    And Eternity in an hour

    Auguries of Innocence

    By William Blake
