A4: 林明子さん is my biggest influence! I'm Japanese so I grew up reading her and 筒井頼子さん's stories. She captures Japanese sceneries and Japanese kids so well!

Q3: Some of my inspiration outside of the kidlit world are historical artists (Botticelli, Frederic Remington, Japanese woodblocks), and nature. I'm always taking pictures of interesting animals and plants to use in illustrations!
