After 8 years in Tokyo, Nozomi returned to her hometown of Fukuoka in March 2020. She had lost her job in Tokyo due to COVID-19, and it was a challenging time for her, as she had really come to enjoy her work as an inhouse hospitality trainer and English instructor at one of Tokyo’s most prestigious sukiyaki restaurants. Although she didn’t know it at the time, going back to Fukuoka would be the chance she needed to take a step back from fast-paced city life and reconnect with herself as an artist. It all started with curiosity, picking up her brush one day and making the choice to create a piece of art, then learning one new little thing at a time-- a new medium, a new technique, and then one day getting her first commission, and then hosting her first exhibit in October 2021. Living in coastal Itoshima on the western edge of Fukuoka, Nozomi is surrounded by beautiful mountains and a majestic sea. She is especially drawn to vibrant skies, sunsets, seascapes, and landscapes "I hope that when you look at my art, it will give you energy and a sense of calm, taking you away to beautiful memories."

Summer in Japan is brutal. It can be anything from 32 degrees C up to 40 degrees C on any day and there is rain and extreme humidity and life gets pretty slow and sweaty. But then there's also the festivals, the dancing, the taiko drums, the Matsuri food and the red lanterns bobbing in the hot evening breeze. It kind of makes up for it... I've put together some Summer-inspired pieces from the Biku collections, pieces you can comfortably wear in the summer heat. SHOP SUMMER-INSPIRED PIECES
