super fine lacy-paper-cutting artist and illustrator

: Biography
Born 1970 in Yokohama, Japan
Started super fine Lacy-paper-cuttings since 2000.
Currently lives and works in Ferney Volaire, France

: Passion

They are super fine lacy-paper-cuttings done by a simple pair of scissors.
My passion is to create a finest cutoff beyond the level of the very time-consuming needle lace making.
I don't follow traditional but I am trying to create a mixture of the traditional and modern styles and to produce my own world through this super fine lacy-paper-cuttings technique.
