Metasequoia tree and blue sky

This work is based on the motif of metasequoia trees and blue skies.

When I see this work
The words "Don't be afraid of being different from others, express yourself" come to mind, and they give me courage every time.

Even though I know that "everyone is different"

When you are in a group, you may feel that "it's better to be the same as the people around you" or "it's scary to be different from others."


And if you get too caught up in that thought,
"What is lacking" or "What cannot be done"
It's easy to focus on what you don't have compared to others

This will cause you to lose your individuality and self-confidence.


On the other hand, things that are so commonplace that it's hard to notice they exist.
・Things that can be done easily
・Experiences
・Sensations felt by the five senses
・Something that you can enjoy and get absorbed in
・Things that are important to you

If you look inside and gather what is inside, you will inevitably find stories and thoughts that only that person can share.

I think that's what makes someone unique and appealing, and that's what makes someone attractive.


More people are able to express themselves in an attractive way
I hope that opportunities for self-expression will expand while enjoying the differences between others.

Akiko Takahashi

We create landscape paintings that are easy to display in hospitals, treatment centers, and counseling rooms.

We are working with the desire to provide a relaxing space.


Born in Tokyo in 1981
A former nurse, she has an HSP personality and easily gets tired in tense spaces, crowded places, and even watching TV.
In 2007, the pressure from work and stress from relationships reached a peak, and he began drawing landscapes with colored pencils to change his mood.

He continues to create works that are focused on "relaxing and soothing the soul" as he becomes physically and mentally exhausted from work.

In 2018, after giving birth, she left her nursing job and began learning counseling knowledge and skills.


Through my experience as a nurse and my knowledge of counseling,

You will realize that your own condition has a significant impact on your relationships and work results.


With this realization as a trigger,
I want to provide works that will invigorate those who provide mental and physical care.
I began to think


I hope to deliver my work to people who find the worldview I depict "comfortable" and "calming to watch."

Starting in 2024, he will begin exhibiting his original artwork at exhibitions.


I hope that my work will spread smiles, energy, and healing.
