個人簡介

1980年生於北海道江別市,畢業於北海道教育大學札幌校。目前為道展會員。

是一位專門描繪「貓」的日本畫家,曾在日本國內外的百貨公司及各大畫廊舉辦多場相關展覽。

2024年參加澳洲墨爾本的 Affordable ANIMAL Fair Melbourne。2015年參與 第14屆札幌未來展 in Sakhalin 的國際交流海外展,並榮獲 薩哈林州立美術館館長獎 及 薩哈林州政府文化部長獎勵獎。2016年11月,受邀參加由日本駐保加利亞大使館主辦的日本畫展。2017年,向札幌市兒童福利中心捐贈作品。

2012年,在北海道美深町的曹洞宗 聖眼山開原寺 擔任天花板畫作的監修,完成了48幅天井畫,至今已奉納52幅作品。

2020年,策劃了教室展覽 「以日本畫描繪貓」,並從此開始每年舉辦 「貓はじめ」 展覽。此外,其作品還被選為澳洲出版的國際書籍 《Feline Fantasy》 的封面畫作。

作品概念

我所描繪的「蝦夷貓」,是日常生活中隨處可見、充滿親和力的平凡貓咪。

我將與北海道人們共度時光的 「普遍之貓」 統稱為「蝦夷貓」。二十多年來,我一直與貓為伴,每次凝視牠們,都能感受到這些生命的珍貴與愛意。透過繪畫,我試圖重現並珍藏與愛貓的回憶,也許這也是一種哀悼與紀念的方式。

為了展現貓的柔軟質感,我使用傳統的 絹本彩色技法,細膩地描繪每一根毛髮。希望我的作品能讓大家一窺蝦夷貓們豐富的神情與姿態。



Born in 1980 in Ebetsu City, Hokkaido, and graduated from Hokkaido University of Education, Sapporo Campus. Currently a member of the Douten Art Association.

A Japanese-style painter who has held numerous exhibitions featuring "cats" at department stores and galleries across Japan and beyond.

In 2024, participated in the Affordable ANIMAL Fair Melbourne in Australia. In 2015, contributed to international exchange at the 14th Sapporo Future Exhibition in Sakhalin, receiving the Director’s Award from the Sakhalin State Art Museum and the Sakhalin Regional Minister of Culture Encouragement Award. In November 2016, exhibited in a Japanese painting exhibition hosted by the Embassy of Japan in Bulgaria. In 2017, donated works to the Sapporo Child Welfare Center.

In 2012, oversaw the creation of 48 ceiling paintings at Kai Genji, a Soto Zen temple in Bifuka Town, with 52 paintings now enshrined.

In 2020, organized the "Painting Cats in Japanese Art" exhibition as part of a workshop and has since hosted the annual "Neko Hajime" exhibition. Additionally, a work was featured as the cover art for the internationally published book Feline Fantasy from Australia.

Artistic Concept

The Ezo Cats I depict are everyday, familiar cats—ordinary yet precious moments captured in art.

I refer to these universally recognized cats, coexisting with people in Hokkaido, as Ezo Cats. Over the past 20 years, I have spent my time with cats, cherishing their presence and appreciating the irreplaceable bond they offer. Through my art, I seek to honor and preserve the memories of my beloved cats, almost as if paying tribute to them through the act of painting.

To express the softness of cats in Japanese painting, I meticulously render each fur strand using the traditional silk-based painting technique (kinpon saishiki). I hope my work allows you to catch a glimpse of the many expressions of Ezo Cats.
