Akihito Izumi

Till 2014, I had been working as a office clerk in a Japanese Human Resource Development organization while being active as a professional cartoonist and illustrator. In 2014, I decided to quit the Job and concentrate into making fine art. I had been a self taught artist till then. I decided to go through academic education and studied MA course in a University in UK. After returning to Japan I settled in Kobe and have been active as a visual artist doing exhibitions in a gallery of this area and Tokyo.
