Born in Kyoto in 1985.After binding my first picture entitled MEmOry,
have aimed at becoming a picture book writer.
Most of my stories are on the themes of living or dying on the basis of emotions,
such as heartrending sorrow and emptiness that is sometimes beyond description.
My pen name "CANDLE" is from such stories. Also, I am particular about printing paper so a different kind of paper is used for each page which is suitable for the picture o the page ,but also the feel of the pieces of paper used.
