Haruka is an illustrator
and storyteller inspired by
history and travel. Old maps,
railway trucks, folktales,
and shabby bric-a-brac as
well as historical museum
collections are all important
sources for building her
world. In her daily life,
she observes people’s
peculiarities, their desires
and obsessions to create her
characters. Her imagination
connects these fragments
of real life and historical
elements, and then creates
stories. She tells these
stories in book format or
as sets of prints, and also
applies them to everyday
goods like tableware and toys
to let her world reach out to
us. She has been shortlisted
for
McMillan Children’s Book
Prize
and earned the Silver
award by the Association of
Illustrators. After finishing
her study at Royal College of
art in London, she is now back
in Tokyo, and continues to get
her hands busy for scribbling
and coloring.
