Yaco

After graduating from the Faculty of Education, she lived in China and Indonesia before returning to Japan in 2020. She began her artistic career in earnest in Japan in 2023. Through her art, she aims to build a community that fosters a sense of self-worth—a “4th place” that builds on the concept of the “third place.” She is active primarily at cafes and salons in Shinagawa, Jiyugaoka, and Gaienmae, and actively organizes workshops outside Tokyo as well. In 2024, she conducted a workshop in Manila, Philippines, and during the summer vacation season, she engaged in art activities with more than 2,000 parents and children over the course of a month. Starting in 2025, she began developing an art program based on Adlerian psychology designed to boost self-esteem. She is expanding the scope of her activities with the goal of providing these programs to educational and medical settings.
