At Studio Arrows, our mission is to introduce the works of outstanding Japanese artists to audiences around the world. We believe that art is a universal language that transcends borders, and that the distinctive sensibilities of Japanese aesthetics deserve to be celebrated on the global stage. Guided by the timeless principles of simplicity, harmony, and depth that have shaped Japanese culture for centuries, we carefully curate artworks that embody these values. From contemporary paintings and sculptures to experimental media, each piece we present reflects not only the artist’s individual vision but also a distinctly Japanese sense of beauty. We place particular value on the uniquely Japanese appreciation for the beauty of empty space and the subtle concept of ma—the intervals and pauses that give form to expression. By honoring this sensibility passed down through generations while embracing the fresh perspectives brought forth by contemporary artists, we aim to share a vision of Japanese beauty that continues to evolve across time with audiences worldwide. We strive to build meaningful bridges between artists and collectors, fostering dialogues that enrich cultural understanding. Through exhibitions, international art fairs, and online showcases, Studio Arrows is committed to presenting the timeless elegance and innovation of Japanese art to the world.

For nearly three decades, I have been immersed in the art world—through exhibitions, events, and publishing—sometimes working directly with artists, at other times supporting them behind the scenes. In my fifties, I chose to narrow my focus to deepen these relationships, dedicating myself to guiding exceptional artists toward the environments and opportunities they deserve on the international stage. I have long been captivated by the profound depths of the art world and have committed my life to it. In an era often dominated by commercialism, this path may appear steep and thorny, yet I am surrounded by beauty—an essential source of happiness in my life. To engage with it daily is a privilege and a joy. My mission is to create opportunities that empower artists—those rare individuals whose work enriches our cultural heritage—and to bring their vision to art enthusiasts worldwide. By honoring the refined sense of beauty passed down by our predecessors and infusing it with innovation, I hope to carry this legacy forward with integrity and grace.
