35 years of experience
I was born and raised in Hakodate, Hokkaido, and have walked with the brush in my hand since childhood.

Calligraphy has been my lifelong path for over 35 years, and I majored in it at university.
私は北海道・函館に生まれ、幼いころから筆とともに歩んできました。
書道歴は35年。小学校から大学まで一貫して「書」と向き合い、大学では書を専攻しました。
Over 300 students
After graduation, I taught at a private high school for 10 years, sharing the art of calligraphy with more than 300 students.

I hold teaching licenses in both calligraphy and Japanese language, and today I continue my work as a professional calligrapher, also serving as a juror for national calligraphy exhibitions.
卒業後は私立の高校で10年間教壇に立ち、これまでに300名以上の方に書を伝えてきました。

The joy of learning about diverse cultures
My experiences abroad—studying at Cairo University in Egypt, joining a teacher training program in Bangladesh with JICA, and spending time in about 15 different countries—taught me the true richness of learning from diverse cultures.

Now, I wish to share that same joy through the Japanese art of calligraphy.
大学時代に留学したエジプト・カイロ大学での学び、そしてJICAの研修で訪れたバングラデシュでの経験をはじめ、これまで約15カ国で現地の文化に触れ、学ぶことの醍醐味を味わってきました。
そして今度は、日本で「書」という文化を通じて、その喜びをあなたにお届けしたいと思います。
Progress Is Not Linear
“There are countless things I want to accomplish in life, but I know that progress is not always linear. At times, I may feel disappointed or frustrated, or find myself taking detours and going in circles.
“There are countless things I want to accomplish in life, but I know that progress is not always linear. At times, I may feel disappointed or frustrated, or find myself taking detours and going in circles.
Still, what matters most is to keep moving forward.”
These words from a dear friend have always pushed me onward.
After marriage and the birth of my child, I also went through the difficult experience of walking alongside my family through illness.
Those challenges became an opportunity to reflect deeply on how I truly wanted to live.
And when I searched within, the answer was clear — calligraphy, education, and international exchange.
With that conviction, I opened ATELIER SAKURA in Hakodate’s Bay Area in 2024.
進歩は直線的ではない
「人生で成し遂げたいことは山ほどあるが、進歩はいつも一直線ではない。失望や焦りを感じたり、寄り道をして同じ場所を回ることもあるもの。それでも大切なのは"動き続けること"。」

「人生で成し遂げたいことは山ほどあるが、進歩はいつも一直線ではない。失望や焦りを感じたり、寄り道をして同じ場所を回ることもあるもの。それでも大切なのは"動き続けること"。」
この親友の言葉は、いつも私の背中を押してくれます。
結婚し子どもが生まれた後、私は家族の闘病生活を共に歩むという困難な時間も過ごしました。この経験は、自分がどう生きたいかを深く問う機会になりました。
そして自問自答の末に見つけた答えはハッキリしていました — 書、教育、そして国際交流です。
その思いを胸に、2024年、函館のベイエリアに ATELIER SAKURA を開きました。
