[Profile]
Lives and works in Kanagawa Prefecture.
When he visited the North Kaido trip when he was young, he has been creating works on the theme of sheep since he was fascinated by the magnificent earth, the wide sky, and a flock of sheep living in nature.
A flock of sheep that can only be met at a production ranch, the scarcity of limited life, and living full of life.
My dream for the future is shepherd and art activities. I love animals in general. Pacifism.
