Expressing My Heart

One of the important mind of Japanese Shodo (calligraphy)  is honesty.

So I will express what I felt without comparing it with other people.

Still don’t forget my exciting heart “Waku-waku”.

I hope my works make as many people as possible smiles and happy.

Calligrapher

I was born in Aomori prefecture surrounded by beautiful nature and I grew up eating delicious apples. Now I live in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam where there are many people with nice smile and beautiful blue sky every day. I love doing yoga, diving and cooking& eating. I’m happy to look at the blue sky and nature while having coffee and listening to my favorite music.
