About my shop
Exclusive products made with love
I'm self-taught in both photography and illustration. Each piece of work in my shop is something I am proud of and I think is worth selling. I love street photography and capturing daily life in Japan (especially sunsets, which are stunning here). I have taken every picture with my beloved Fujifilm X-T20 and I have personally drawn each piece of artwork available in the shop with my iPad (yes, pixel art too!)
I put a lot of love and effort into making sure every product reflects exactly what I have in mind 💕
Made in Japan
I print my photographs with Fujifilm high-quality glossy photo paper at a professional photography store in Shinjuku. My RISO prints are made in a small local shop that specializes in risographs and zines. My mailers, envelopes, stamps, washi tapes, and everything I use for packaging are also sourced locally! I personally go shopping for these around Tokyo every time I need something.
In the future I would like to source everything locally to offer you a product 100% made in Japan 🇯🇵
From me to you
I want to offer you personal and high-quality products, so I am determined to manage everything myself rather than uploading my art to print-on-demand marketplaces. It takes more time, effort, and money to go to the local printers, pack, and ship everything myself, but this is the only way to make sure every product meets a high standard of quality.
Also, this way I (and you guys) can support local businesses directly, in both Japan and Europe. By the way, I ship to anywhere in the world from my cute local post office! 💌 🌎 ✈️
Unique prints
Risograph or RISO is a printing method that was invented in Japan in the 80’s. In this method, every color is a separate ink that is printed as an individual layer. This way you can get more intense colors compared to traditional printing because inks are not mixed
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I love the irregularity of the textures and the misalignment of the layers, it gives prints a more interesting, vintage handmade look - every piece is unique! They are a bit more difficult to produce compared to digital printing but I’m loving this method and the quality it offers. Also, RISO inks are soy oil-based and non-toxic so it's an eco-friendly way of printing.
Shipped in plastic-free packaging
I don't use plastic to pack my orders. I think it's annoying to receive something that's wrapped in plastic sleeves that will end up in the trash straight away. I don't want that for you! 🙅♀️ I want to reduce the waste I produce and the waste you'll get at your home.
I usually pack everything together in a single paper bag. Sometimes I add an extra little envelope for the stickers; I decide this case by case.
I'm looking forward to creating even more artwork that people will be inspired by and take joy in owning. If you do decide to buy something, I’d be genuinely thankful and I really appreciate the support 💕
