On July 7, 1984, she was born in the Aquitaine region of southwestern France with a very rare disorder that is said to occur in 1 in 50,000 people: Apert Syndrome (https://www.nanbyou.or.jp)
From the time she was 6 months old to the age of 30, she had multiple major surgeries. (head, face, hands and feet)
When she was 16, she encountered "Haiku" in a class at school.
She is fascinated by the style of this poem, which describes the natural world and the heart.
From the age of 24 she started drawing on paper
Because she was born with a disability, she has experienced many painful experiences because she is different from many people.
When she expresses her own self-expression and inner thoughts in her haiku and paintings, she can have her experience of making people happy, which becomes her vitality.
At the age of 31, with the help of her parents and friends, she set up a shop in Pau to sell her antiques and creations. This is to establish an environment in which she can live independently in society.
At the age of 39, she created a "hanging scroll", one of the traditional Japanese processing techniques, from a collection of her works, in which she wrote pictures and haikus about her memories of her travels.
She will hold her first solo exhibition in Tokyo as an artist.
