ITOKI TOMURA
My name is Itoki Tomura. I’m artist and landscape designer.
I research about relationship of forest and human. Also I love making paint from soil.
I started making paint when I was in high school.
I couldn’t fit in at school but I loved learning about plants or art. And I thought, teacher doesn’t need to be human it can be soil or tree ...or cat!
So...I change a school to homeschooling and I traveled all around world. Trying to find future or something beautiful thing.
And I found out this planet has many beautiful culture and soil.
I made a mobile school call “nomadic school” last year. I try to show everyone "study “has many way to do that.
Not only study on textbook or going to school.
Using a soil can be know about land or earth really quickly. And fun to paint with everyone too! I want to know about earth and forest through color of soil.
That’s me for now!
