A long time ago, there was a small house in a corner of a town that ran a grocery store called “Kadoya”. As time passed, the house became vacant and I moved into it.
KADOYA was the name of the store when it was a grocery store. I decided to revive and use that name out of respect for the history of the store, and added the word “kobo” (studio) to the end of KADOYA.
After a few more years passed, I closed brick-and-mortar, embarked on a journey. The journey lasted longer than expected and continues to this day. This site is a record of my life on the move and the works I have created along the way.
