In my university days, I studied design for four years at Tokyo. I visited Europe countries only with a backpack and return flight ticket to study medieval religious arts. (I saved all expenses by doing part-time work ....) It was great experiences for me not only to look actual arts but I was also able to touch the people who has different sense of values and culture. While I worked for a printing company in Osaka, I did planning and designing besides block copy (camera-ready art), make-up, and printing. I also enjoy directing of shooting a photography besides design as a director. I believe that it is a wonderful moment to create a products by CO-working with photographer, coordinator and other staff together to achieve client's needs.
