Responsibility

I just try what I can do, like birds always fly in the sky, no matter how cruel the things can be, they do what nature designed them to be, which is to fly to live.I am here to tell the stories which inspire me.That's my nature and my job which are given to me by this world.

Return to the North of Japan

After almost two years passed, I need to see what is happening in the area.

'Fumio's world ①' A cartoon series for Kyoto Journal.

This is a new collaboration between myself and On-line news journal based in Kyoto - 'Kyoto Journal' http://kyotojournal.org/which presents thorougher insight from my country Japan. 

Here is the page link:
http://kyotojournal.org/the-journal/society/fumios-world/

My audience is mainly the English speakers who live in Asia so I chose a theme which talks about my adolescence in early 90's when I first arrived in England, and my experience of cultural encounters between Britain and Japan at that time. This will continue fortnightly, so wait for the next episode!

Angoulême sketches

Between 30th January and 4th February I was attending the International Comic Festival in Angoulême, France. I was doing the first signing for my book but found myself waiting for someone to buy it.So in meantime I did a lot of drawing.
