“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.”

The Kawakami Library, which is the size of a bookshelf in the studio, is filled with animal encyclopedias and dinosaur encyclopedias.

“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.”

He finds photographs of buildings around the world, vast landscapes, interesting creatures, people, ordinary utensils, and food, and paints them exactly as he sees them, with single-minded precision. The countless shades of green are particularly beautiful. He perceives red and green as the same color, so blue-and-white porcelain pots appear as a soft pink, and people’s faces appear as a light green.

As a big fan of Arashi, she has clear favorites in anime, such as characters from “Demon Slayer” and “Pokémon,” and drawing them is her happiest moment. She continues to expand the range of things she can draw, such as still lifes in the theme colors of Arashi members. Even now, she often infuses the colors and decorative shapes she uses with the meanings of Arashi members’ colors.
