In 2017, I participated in the MI-LAB mokuhanga instructor training program. After then, I primarily served as a guide for mokuhanga tool tours from 2017 to 2023.Inspired by the artists I encountered through MI-LAB, I began creating my own mokuhanga works. As I continue to learn carving and printing techniques, I am captivated by the wide range of expressions made possible through combining various techniques.In 2023, I launched a workshop to offer hands-on printing experiences of Kanagawa Okinamiura (The Great Wave off Kanagawa) from Fugaku Sanjūrokkei (Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji), using laser-cut woodblocks.Instagramtomomi_etc 経歴2016〜 江戸の玩具で遊ぶ、ずぼんぼプロジェクト運営2016 The View of contemporary Japanese printmaking展 (キプロス)2018 GLOBALIZING MOKUHANGAグループ展・ワークショップ（ロシア・モスクワ）2018 江戸生まれのおもちゃずぼんぼで遊ぼう 隅田川森羅万象墨に夢プロジェクト企画（東京都墨田区）2019 動物・おばけ・いろんなずぼんぼ 隅田川森羅万象墨に夢プロジェクト企画2020 MI-LAB Preparations木版画6人展 アーツ千代田3331/CfSHE Gallery2020 ずぼんぼ・紙芝居アニメーション茶わん姫ものがたり 隅田川森羅万象墨に夢プロジェクト企画2021 First Contact Group Exhibition 3331 アーツ千代田3331/CfSHE Gallery2021 漉いて 摺る 西会津国際芸術村 福島県西会津町2021 第4回国際木版画会議 論旨発表 奈良春日野国際フォーラム2022 地口行灯×ずぼんぼ まちのあかり 仲町の家パイロットプログラム2024 第5回国際木版画会議 国際木版画公募展 越前市いまだて芸術館メッセージ前職は書籍および雑誌の編集とライター。日本の郷土玩具に関するリサーチから浮世絵や木版画に興味を持ち、2017年にMI-LABが主催する木版画インストラクター養成プログラム参加を機に、おもに道具ツアーのガイド（2017〜2023）を担当。ここで出会った仕事仲間やアーティストの作品を見て、彫りや摺りの技術を習得しつつ、それらの組み合わせによって生まれる多彩な表現に魅了され、木版画の制作をしています。2023年から、レーザーカット加工の版木を用いた冨嶽三十六景神奈川沖浪裏の摺り体験ワークショップも始めました。Instagramtomomi_etc
