ABOUT THE BOOKHailing from the small rural town of Naie in Hokkaido, Japan. The love of nature instilled in her from a young age is combined with contemporary influences such as manga, kawaii, and American pop culture films, music, and fashion.
The pieces in
Japanese Wolf are culled from her work of the last six years, after a move to Seattle, Washington in 2005. These large scale paintings are fantastical in subject matter and always include a human woman and surrounding animals, seemingly expressing Yumiko's inner worlds.
