PROFILE

Profile

An unusual magician who also works as a painter. She handles both table magic performed right in front of guests and stage magic for a large audience. Her performances, which fuse art and magic into a world of their own, have been highly rated in contests in Japan and abroad.

She also works as a dealer for the magic manufacturer Tenyo, performing in a wide range of settings.

As a painter she has twice exhibited at international shows in Paris as a representative Japanese artist. Her motto is that she wants as many people as possible to feel something move in them, and she keeps widening her work through both painting and magic.
