He has created art for shrines, temples and public spaces, and is the art director of the Yokohama Grand InterContinental Hotel. As a board member of Sailors for the Sea Japan he is active in the Kids Environmental Lessons Program (KELP). His artwork respects tradition while looking towards the bright future of Asian art.
