Creator Interviews
Q. What led you to work as an illustrator in Japan?
A. I've been drawing digital illustrations since I was a high school student, but after I graduated from university, I worked for a Japanese design company, and when it came to fiddling with computers all day long, I admired the analog world instead. I thought I'd collect watercolor tools with a light feeling and draw a dumpling I saw at a convenience store one day. The first time I tried drawing food with watercolor, I immediately fell in love with it. There are many beautiful foods in Japan, and I want to try them all, so I combined the world of art and food to become a food illustrator.
Q. What kind of experiences do you want the students to have through this class?
A. I want people to experience recreating food with their own hands, knowing that it's not just something to eat, but a work of art. I want to create a class where I can draw wonderful pictures and create new hobbies while remembering tastes!
Q. Please give a message to the students!
A. Food connects the world! Let's eat lots of delicious food, draw lots of delicious illustrations, and create a delicious world together!
