Based on the concept “Just looking at them brings a warm smile to your face! ~ make you smile,” we carefully craft each piece by hand. Our original characters, “Carly the Parisienne” and “Teddy, her best friend the teddy bear,” appear in all sorts of scenes! It all started 18 years ago when I drew a picture for my daughter. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I fell in love with the beauty of the French language, and inspired by the language itself, “Carly the Parisienne and Teddy” were born. I enjoy creating crafts using these illustrations. ◼️100 People’s ART Notebook 2023, 2024 ◼️Girls Collection Exhibition at Daimaru Umeda, Osaka (April 2024) ◼️“Move on” Exhibition at Park Hotel Tokyo Gallery (February–March 2025) ■ Tokyo, Omotesando / Gallery Dojunkai “The Selected 18 — An Exhibition of Original Artwork Born from the 100 ART Notebooks —”
