I make sketches whenever I find something inspiring and touching. Those moments filter through my mind and create a small world in my sketch book.

何気ない日常の中で心が温まることを見つけた時、スケッチブックに描きとめるようにしている。そのできごとは、私の心を通って想像の世界で生き続ける。

Creative Process




I love creating stories, as well as images. Creative process is quite interesting, when I think of it. I don't work hard to create stories. When I come up with some characters, I place them on a small stage-like place in my mind and leave them there for a while. I wait until they make a story by themselves. I feel like I'm just watching them how they act. If I force them to act, it doesn't go good. Patiently, I just need to let them create a story. Then what I do is to sketch them on paper.

私は絵を描くのも好きですが、お話を作るのも同じぐらい大好きです。どうやってお話を作るのか?考えてみると不思議なプロセスです。登場人物が決まったら、その子たちを私の頭の中にある小さなステージのような場所に置きます。そして、ほったらかしにして、その子たちがそこで動き出すのをひたすら待ちます。私が無理やり動かしたりするとうまくいかないので、根気よくその子たちがどんなことをやりだすのかを観察して、私の仕事はそれを紙に書き取るだけです。

  1. I feel similarly. Making good stories is something that can't be forced. Working hard can be unproductive.

    Like the sketch of your little story stage!

  3. Thank you so much for your comment, Ben.
    I guess all the artists know this. It is hard sometimes to let it be. But I think it is the best way to create something!
