Since I was a little girl, I have loved to work with handicraft and am naturally challenged in various handicraft fields, including beadwork, knitting, clay work, and Japanese paper handicraft. In 2000, I started a full-scale production of beaded jewelry and acquired a beadwork-related qualification. Currently, I am actively engaged in lecturing, maintaining an online shop, participating in events, and providing artworks and patterns to specialty beadwork magazines. In addition, I am a beadwork accessory instructor in Nagoya of Aichi prefecture.
