I'm based in Toyama, Japan.

I've been in poor health for the past few years, so I started taking up photography as something I could do. Around two years ago, when my health started to improve, I became interested in pursuing photography as a professional.

At a company, I had experience creating pamphlets and other materials aimed at the general public.
