"I bound my first book by stapler when I was five years old. In my school days, I always felt comfortable when I
drew on any kind of book form: diary, notebook, sketchbook, or even text book.

I have started to carry a hard cover book wherever I go since 2002. I have tried to bind several books by myself,
but I still like to buy and use the book made by professional people.

Currently, I use a beautiful hand made book made by 'IL PAPIRO' from Italy. When it comes to pen and ink, I prefer Rotring, Faber-Castell, and a kind of silver pen made by Pentel, and sometimes I use water color pencil.

I like to visit some amazing place, I also like to draw immediately when I have the strong desire to move the nib."
