After working as an architecture 3D renderings in Japan, he moved to the United States and started working as an artist in New York. He creates characters called Poi in sculptures and paintings, and installs them in various places in the city. When he sees the installation locations on a map, he places them in the shape of Poi. “Poi” means “Path of Imagination”. The artist's wish is that everyone in the world can live in harmony so that everyone can smile. The Poi placed throughout the town heals and encourages the hearts of those who meet them, like Jizo statues on the roadside.
