Born in 1976 in Kanagawa, Japan. Currently living in Tokyo. Film works started in 2001, creating a set imitating an existing painting and capturing its transformation using a digital camera. Recently, she has started painting which seems to portray scenes from her films. Works are exhibited as art in Japan, and in some cases, works are shown on big screens including film festivals. http://db-beam.com/mk-works/The way I shoot has a strong documentary feel.
