born in Kyoto, Japan, i began my artistic journey as a nail artist in my teens, using nails as my first medium to express creativity. in 2012, i relocated to New York City as my work continued to evolve.

In Nolita, I founded BISOU, a nail atelier that went beyond the idea of a traditional salon, focusing on detailed and intricate nail art.

after more than a decade working in nail artistry, i felt drawn to move beyond its impermanence. i began transitioning from temporary expressions to permanent work, exploring tattooing as a way to create pieces that stay with people and become part of their lives.

today, i go back and forth between Japan and New York. technique and design continue to shape my practice as i explore forms that aren’t always immediately visible.

through the act of making, i look for moments of calm and presence — a quiet awareness of simply being.
whether temporary or permanent, my work takes place on the body. each part of the process, every person involved, matters just as much as the final result. my interest centers on what the experience brings us through, especially for those who choose to bear a daily reminder of the work i do with them.



everything is already moving and changing. even while reading this, something has shifted. i often find myself asking, what if permanence was never the point? perhaps it is within the temporarily of each moment, in places often overlooked, where we can find true beauty and meaning.
