Works: 






I work as food coordinator and writer about the cooking in Japan. My belief is that the cooking and eating are an art. The taste and flavor vary under the different climates, and change with various ingredients. They also are affected by the chef’s conditions and we feel differently depending on with whom we eat. Therefore the food can present a multi-taste installation. I am really curious for how people’s communication changes in eating together when they have a different cultural background and taste. I myself experienced it when I joined in parties during my stay in London. That is why I name my core activities as ‘Conceptual Eat’ and want to install the art works using food as well as have more people taste and enjoy them in the gathering like the reception. That is my lifework.
