In dark trees

Born in Tokyo in 1959. While studying oil painting at Musashino Art University, he joined the animation club "Mysterious Magic Lantern Society" and began creating films. In 1980, he joined the independent film screening group "Animation 80" upon its establishment and has been submitting works every year since then. His works have been exhibited at numerous festivals, including the "Torino International Film Festival" (1986, Turin, Italy), the "Shanghai Animation Festival" (1988, Shanghai, China), and "The Evolution of Animation" (1988, O Museum). His unique worldview blends elegance and grotesqueness, and he continues to explore a wide range of expressive techniques, including two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and live-action animation.
