She moved in Fukuoka after Great East Earthquake in 2011

​

She is creating original artwork that shines with the light of

happiness and is based on a theme of "drawing in water."

She stack transparent resin on multiple levels and uses spring

water and holy water for materials.

​

At times, she use the blur of paint to express the form of a 

dragon or the glow of a soul.

​

Byakkou depicts the world of "Kissho" which brings happiness

to people as she continues to pursue her own expression of 

beauty that is not tied down to any genre.

A dazzling energy dwells in her work that pleasantly stimulated

the five senses of a viewer.
