Keep Creating
Born at the southern tip of Osaka, studied in Kyoto,
then spent about ten years at a startup and a major ad agency.
Today I run a design studio called Kessaku LLC,
while also working as a musician and an artist.
Went independent in January 2024 and founded Kessaku LLC.
Now based in Mizonokuchi, Kawasaki, working in Japan and abroad.
I just like making things.

SUP STAND FUKUOKA
I run SUP STAND FUKUOKA, an art gallery
and stand cafe in Omiya, Fukuoka.
A small 14-seat room on the ground floor of a renovated apartment.
Three things happen here: we pour coffee,
we curate exhibitions, and we make and sell our own items.
The walls change every two weeks with work by artists from Kyushu.
The idea is simple — a place where a young artist
can take their first step.
