Artist Profile
“Every day I work is my reason for living,” he says. He is a big fan of sumo wrestling, and during the Kyushu tournament, he visits the sumo stable early in the morning to watch the morning practice. When asked why his drawings, despite their smooth shapes, have jagged lines, he replies, “It’s to do everything that is invisible to the eye.”
