< as an artist >
Her exhibitions display textile creatures, prints, drawings, hand-made decorations and installations; composing colorful, funny characters in a pop atmosphere.
Her objects are colorful and idiosyncratic, sewn by hand from fabric, brightly colored and wildly in shape. The objects of the native Japanese woman ironize the notation of art as a cool luxury item by charming wit.
< as a designer >
In Japan she worked for advertising agencies and design offices (2001-2005). There she acquired professional graphic design skills and also marketing knowledges, art direction, CI design, editorial design, photo retouching and other DTP techniques.
In Berlin she has been working as a freelancer for agencies, restaurants & shops and artists in Germany and Japan. Here she expanded her field of work into web design / UI design and she mastered various programming languages as well.

< as a performing artist / musician >
In 2013 she founded a Berlin-based band and art project "Puppe'n Mucke" with musician Raving Mad Carlos.
They play trashy electro rock wearing huge hand-made original puppet costumes designed and manufactured by SHOXXX.
They mix electro beats and sounds with diverse instruments such as melodica, bongo, keyboards, bass and guitar, featuring guest singers and artists. The result is a very funny-to-watch-performance of crazy characters playing original enjoyable music.
They had played at many festivals such as Fusion Festival (2022), Crack Festival (IT, 2022), Ca.Co. Fest (IT, 2018), Bauhaus Fest (2017), Suppe und Mucke street festival (2015 & 2017), Fete de la Musique Berlin (2015), Kawaii Festival Berlin (2018), Performing Art Festival (2018), and Berlin's clubs Urban Spree, Südblock, Antje Øklesund, Arena Berlin, West Germany, etc..

< as curator / art label>
Since 2010 she has been also organizing art events with curious concepts in Berlin's alternative art scene, such as "JAPON DE FLOOR", "JAPARADE", "Japoneeeze Mayoneeze", "Sushi Kebap", etc.
Those events featured not only art and music but also food (Volksküche), special cocktails, odd decorations, art films / movies or eccentric installations.
In 2011 summer she established "SHOXXXBOXXX" as a name of her atelier-studio and also a label for her activities for art events. As SHOXXXBOXXX she participated in many art events and festivals, such as "Suppe und Mucke", "Lange Nacht der Bilder", "Serendubity Festival", "Camp Tipsy", etc.
