I started to take American Decorative Painting lesson in 1992 in Tokyo, Japan. After I finished the one-year course, I took an acrylic painting course for two years to study making original paintings.
From 1996 to 2001, I had a chance to live in Ohio, America on my husband's business. I was impressed with American Decorative Painting again, and I took some lessons from a local painter and also gave lessons to my friends in Ohio. Now some of my students at that time are working as teachers.
I came back to Japan in 2001. I have been teaching American Decorative Painting for more than 10 years. I have a studio in Tokyo to teach and make originals. Now I realized WAGARA Decorative Painting, the Japanese classic pattern painting. WAGARA is originally used for Japanese classic clothes, kimono. WAGARA is not only classic, but also modern if you apply it to your house interior or accessories. In Tokyo, I made a WAGARA team and there I teach how to make original WAGARA painting.
