Here is a selection of my original and limited-edition prints for sale. All prints are made by me at my studio and each one is signed and numbered.
Beautiful buildings, fascinating museums, unique records of people's lives and architectural history.
Mountains inspire me to paint. Peaks, clouds, shades, colours... always changing and never same.
I take on regular commissions for both editorial and personal drawings.
Classic line drawings for 'I Never Knew That' book series by Christopher Winn.
I always love black & white art works which leave more space for the imagination.
I still use my old non-digital map wherever I go. I think a map is a beautiful piece of art forever.
I am a professional Japanese artist, illustrator and printmaker based in the UK.
Growing up with an architect father and jewellery designer mother and trained as a set designer,
I have been drawing as long as I can remember. My line-drawings have been used for books such as the
‘I Never Knew That’ series by Christopher Winn,
The English House by Clive Aslet, and other publications, as well as for my own book
'The Small Churches in Britain', published in Japan. I now take on regular commissions using watercolour,
pen & ink and acrylic. I am also running Printmaking Workshop using processes and materials
that are safer and less-toxic. Please feel free to get in touch :

その中からどのように50カ所を選んだかは、本から感じ取っていただけることを願っていますが、 紹介しきれなかった教会もInstagramで紹介しています。
６世紀後半から少しずつ変化してきた教会建築。 どの時代でも共通していたのは、建築家や技師たちがそれぞれの好みやユーモアを取り入れて、独自の味をだしてきたこと。
必要最低限で質素だったサクソン時代。
立派な建物で権力を見せつけた中世。
商人が財力を示す教会を建てたチューダー時代。
そして洗練された景観をつくりだす教会をデザインしたジョージアン時代。
キリスト教伝導のために建てられ始めた教会堂も、時代背景や流行に影響を受けながら少しずつ変化していきました。どの時代でも共通していたのは、 建築家や技師たちが自分たちの好みやユーモアを取り入れて、それぞれ独自の味をだしてきたこと。だからイギリスの教会は好奇心をそそられるのです。
でもそれにはある程度の財力が必要であったため、 一般的に教会は地元で採れる石で建てられました。だからこそ、古い教会は特に風景に溶け込み、自然と調和しているのです。
