Happy New Year of the Snake! 🐍✨
In Japan, we consider the snake a symbol of wisdom, renewal, and protection. I had lots of fun creating these squiggly creatures full of colours and patterns!

Thank you for coming to the “Colour, Culture and Happiness” panel discussion at London Design Fair.  

Colour always makes me happy, but a discussion with Justine Fox, Ruth Campbell, and Lucy Bagshow in front of a live audience certainly put an eternal smile on my face.

When I first launched my Domestika course, I was nervous if anyone would join in. Fast forward 4 months, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to have a fantastic community of over 570 students and 100% positive reviews! 🙏✨

Fancy joining the journey? 👉 bit.ly/domestika-june

I love the fact that the university I lecture at has a chancellor who came to a graduation ceremony like this for my students today. Hats off, Sir Grayson Perry 🎓

Great art, good company, and free-flowing champagne. What more do you need?

Well, the money to buy even 1 piece of Briget Riley!

Fab private view none the less.

From the archive 🔙 COVID time was such a blur, I almost forgot I did this 🌤

Back in 2021, I was commissioned by Culture Mile to create a Visual Identity for Creative Freelancers to represent “Shaping London’s Recovery“ from the pandemic. the yellow windows to represent hope and open possibilities.

Trying this Bluesky thing. I thought I might start with an intro. I am an artist and a design lecturer on a mission to spread optimism. Originally from Tokyo but based in London. mamimutokyo.com

I never got into Twitter properly, so hope this will lead me somewhere...
