As I find joy in little things in life, gazing at a ginkgo tree with its mesmerising yellow leaves in the fall never fails to put a smile on my face. 

The Kozo paper I used for the print is as light as a ginkgo leaf. The vibrant yellow pigment in combination with the black sumi ink makes this print an eye-catching piece of art.

Moon-gazing is  deeply rooted in japanese culture, both in literature and century old seasonal traditions. Each month as it gets full, I look at it and feel a deep connection to my beloved ones … we live under the same moon.

The contrast between the blue, yellow and red pigments add to the vibrant feel of this print. The white, smooth Mitsumata paper which I used significantly adds to this effect.
