ENVIRONMENTAL ILLUSTRATION
Poster Illustration
This illustration features the Okinawan rail (ヤンバルクイナ), an endangered bird native to the Yambaru forest in northern Okinawa. I was born in Okinawa, and wanted to create an illustration connected to this beautiful island, ecology, and environmental heritage.
The rail has evolved for a closed ecosystem. Today, development, habitat fragmentation, invasive species, and infrastructure have reshaped that environment, placing the species at risk.
I love creating illustrations for environmental, cultural, and educational contexts including conservation projects, museums, public institutions, exhibitions, and ethically driven merchandise.
I’m particularly interested in collaborations that use visual storytelling to communicate biodiversity, ecology, and conservation in meaningful, accessible ways.
