Profile
Poet, president of the NPO Koe to Kotoba to Kokoro no Heya (Room for Voice, Word, and Heart) (Cocoroom)).
In 2003, the group participated in Osaka City's Contemporary Art Centre Formation Project and set up the art NPO Cocoroom, which pretended to be a coffee shop, and moved its base to Kamagasaki, Nishinari-ku after the project ended in 2007. In 2012, the town was transformed into a university where people can learn from each other. Since 2016, a guesthouse has also been added to the pretense of a guesthouse. In recent years, many have passed away and the town has changed, so they have opened a ‘place for meeting and expression’ while focusing on memory and documentation.
