Yuzawa Bijin Project, Executive Director
Around the fourth grade of elementary school,
I drew a picture lantern of Hanamichi Sakuragi from Slam Dunk and received the AAB Asahi Broadcasting Award.
After becoming a working adult, I continued to draw medium-sized picture lanterns for 15 years to participate in festivals (only anime art).
After retiring, I started a business that offers picture lantern experiences.
Currently, I offer picture lantern experiences in the summer and painting experiences for Shinko crafts in the winter.
