Along with her literary work, she has presented installation pieces as an artist both in Japan and internationally that enable viewers to re-experience various scenes from her writings in which the elements of fiction and documentary drift between personal narrative and social reality.<br \/>\nHer other publications include the collection of short stories <em>She Looks into the Mirror<\/em>, the nonfictional work <em>Shin\u2019ai naru Kitty tachi e<\/em> (Your Dear Kitty,), inspired by the diaries of Anne Frank and based on the diary of <em>Kobayashi father<\/em>, the graphic novel <em>Hikari no kodomo 1.2.3 LUMINOUS<\/em> (Children of Light: Luminous), which traces the history of the atom and radiation.<br \/>\nHer recent solo exhibitions include <em>1F in the Forest of Wild Birds<\/em>, Yutaka Kikutake Gallery, Tokyo (2019); and <em>Trinity<\/em>,Karuizawa New Art Museum, Nagano (2017).

Currently based in Okinawa and Tokyo, Japan.<br \/>\nOlfactory artist Maki Ueda (JP\/NL) focuses the spectator\u2019s attention on her fragrant gestures by minimizing the influence of the other senses. Her current research explores olfaction in relation to space and movement resulting in strong, often universal, approaches. She focuses on the pure experience of a smell instead of a more contextual or narrative approach. In addition to her own creative work, she teaches courses on olfactory art at the ArtScience Interfaculty of The Royal Academy of Art and the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague (NL) since 2009.<br \/>\nShe has developed a unique combination of chemical and kitchen skills in order to extract the scents of daily life, including foods, ambient aromas, and bodily scents. She creates scents that capture childhood, identity, a mood, or a historical event. The results of her experiments take the form of olfactory installations and workshops. She has inspired and influenced many olfactory artists for making her process and recipes &#8220;open source&#8221; on her blog, and became one of the most famous olfactory artists.<br \/>\nShe received a grant from the Japanese government in 2000 and from the POLA Art Foundation in 2007. She has been based in The Netherlands from 2000 till 2011. She learned perfumery at Grasse Institute of Perfumery in 2008.<br \/>\nShe has been nominated for the Art and Olfaction Awards Sadakichi category, the world&#8217;s olfactory art hall of fame, for five consecutive years so far, winning in 2022.<br \/>\nAtelier and Online Academy: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pepe.okinawa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.pepe.okinawa<\/a><br \/>\nOnline Portfolio: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ueda.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.ueda.nl\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Atsushi Yamane<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23135 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Alyphonoc_photo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He formed Altphonic Studio in 2004 to create music and videos.
