For ages, humans have used myths and folklore to express human stories and create space for the unknown through fantastical and surreal lenses. My body of work is inspired by the fairytales and folklore of my Japanese heritage. Additionally, with the use of anthropomorphic creatures like foxes, crows, snakes, and black cats, the personal narrative is a means to connect with the world at large. Through the use of these ethereal protagonists, I explore the cyclical nature of life and death, the masks we wear for ourselves and others, and the ways love and loss inspire our own transformations.

I month after turning 34 last year, and it had to take me that long to have a passionate Spidey phase. I didn’t want to post anything until I returned home today.

This one goes out to anyone living in Seattle. Please voice your concerns and opposition to the removal of these trees. Allegedly the trees are getting too old. OK, that's understandable, but they intend to replace them with hybrid elm trees. They have no intention to replace with new cherry trees. Forgive me if I think this looks like an erasure of local Japanese heritage. If they were putting in new cherry trees I'd be fine with it, but they aren't.

A nonprofit called savethemarketentrance.org is organizing to stop the removal.

Your heritage series was absolutely beautiful. I’m 1/4 Filipino and I am so far removed from that aspect of my identity that I feel like I can’t claim it, but I would love to learn more about it. I can’t fully imagine your story but it’s definitely inspiring so thank you for your comics

I'd pretty much abandoned this blog back in 2017 or so, and so bringing it back to life and seeing all these lovely messages from folks who read Home & Home and my other heritage comics has meant a lot to me.

Sorry for smooshing all of your asks together like this, but I didn't want to miss any and I also didn't want to publish five identical posts to my blog.

Thank you all for your kind words, and I'm so glad that me exploring this aspect of my own identity has resonated with so many different people. They weren't always the easiest comics to work on, so

Now I'm having a lot of fun doing fiction again. I completed Circuits and Veins which you can read start to finish for free over on Webtoon Canvas. And I'm working on a new story called Folk Remedy, which I will definitely be sharing a lot more about here as I continue to work on it.

Staff Pick of the Week

My staff pick this week is the trade edition of The Tale of the Shining Princess by Japanese-born writer Hisako Matsubara (b.1935) and Japanese-Canadian artist-printmaker Naoko Matsubara (b.1937), published by Kodansha International LTD. Tokyo, Japan in 1966.

As a artist-printmaker and bookmaker who makes woodcuts, I am greatly inspired by Naoko’s prints. Naoko Matsubara’s work carries on traditions of Japanese printmaking while having its own contemporary flavor. Her woodcuts are ecstatic, they are vibrating with movement. Her use of bold shapes and the white line of the the carving tool makes the most of what woodcut has to offer. In the book form, the active images carry the reader’s eyes through the book space. Her use of negative space activates the page. Additionally, her woodcuts have translated beautifully to commercial printing.

The Matsubara sisters are daughters of a senior Shinto priest, and were raised in Kyoto. Both studied, lived, and worked in the United States. Hisako received her Master of Arts degree from Pennsylvania State College, moving to Germany where she continued her studies and became a prominent writer, publishing her work in Japanese, English, and German. In the 1980s she moved back to the United States, this time to California where she worked at Stanford University.

Naoko received her Master of Fine Arts from Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, now Carnegie Mellon University. After her studies she traveled across Europe and Asia. She returned to the United States and became the personal assistant to the artist and wood engraver Fritz Eichenberg, an artist who has been featured many times on our blog. Naoko taught at Pratt University in New York and at the University of Rohde Island. She also lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts for a time. Naoko is currently living and working in Canada in Oakville, Ontario, where she continues to work and exhibit nationally.

The work of both Hisako and Naoko have had great influence inside the United States and around the world. So lets celebrate their accomplishments!

This book has end sheets of mulberry paper with inclusions of Bamboo leaves, the cover is a red textured paper with a gold stamped design by Naoko.
