Born in 1980 in Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan

Dropped out of the Department of Animal Science and Biotechnology, School of Veterinary Medicine, Azabu University

Dropped out of the Photography Department, Nihon University College of Art

Graduated from the Film Making Course of the Film Department of the Image Techno-Academia

After graduation, I stayed in Los Angeles to attend a workshop held by Judith Weston, author of “Directing Actors.” And I stayed in Kagoshima to study the sword art of Jigen-ryū.

At the age of 29, I suddenly had a mysterious psychological crisis, and in my anguish, I had a strange encounter with Gregory Bateson’s writings. Since then, I have been reading books on biology, mathematics, logic, philosophy, religion, anthropology, psychiatry, and family therapy, etc., with the sole purpose of understanding Bateson.

I am continuing my quest.

I opened this blog to publish what I can out of my thoughts.

The site’s title, “Vestigium,” is Latin for “footprint.”
