Hello everyone. And thank you for seeing my pictures. What kind of feeling do you get from my pictures? They are not bad, are they?

Touch Me If You Can by Leading Actress


At first I felt embarrassed about posing for a picture, so I always had a shy expression. But the more I had my picture taken the more I became confident as a model. Now I’m really enjoying posing for a picture. And I have been at odds with Kate Moss ever since I became a model.
I’m mid fifties. Although I’m not young I think age doesn’t matter. It’s important that we have confidence in ourselves. I hope my pictures will encourage many women who are my age. We can do anything if we want to.
My photo books really caught on in Osaka this year, and I expect the same success in Europe next year. The photo sessions brought out my aptitude as a model.
Little did I dream that I would pose professionally in front of the camera.The photo session seems spontaneous, but is in fact carefully prepared beforehand.

Deep in Meditation by Leading Actress


Declaration Of Rights For Mature Models.

I’m not so fascinated by a skinny woman like a young fashion model.
Because I prefer women who have rounded shape. And I think it makes women more feminine and attractive. It’s a shame that almost all the models are skinny and young girls try to follow suit.
Another thing that I'm concerned about is the fact that there are not many middle-aged models around. I think there should be more mature models like me.

I hereby pledge that I will devote myself to modeling to encourage every discouraged mature woman to stand up and pose.

Finally! I Came to Scotland! by Leading Actress


My New Photo Book "Scottish Beauty"

I visited Scotland between the 10th and the 15th April for a photo shoot.
At first I thought that a concept was a foreigner in Scotland. But the more I had my picture taken the more I fitted naturally into atmosphere of Scotland. And my expression is happy and satisfied in every picture. There is no anxious and puzzled expression that people show when they visit a place for the first time. When I noticed it I decided that the concept was fun.
I love Scotland. Everywhere and everybody in Scotland welcomed me even weather and some sheep. At first, when I came close to sheep they were keeping lookout for me but once we started taking picture they began to eat grass as if nothing had happened. Thanks to them we were able to take fine shots.
I was enjoying this photo secession and I had self-assurance as a model. You can find a meaning that I want to say when you see my photo book.
Now, I’m selecting pictures for my new photo book. It’s difficult assignment for me because every picture is excellent.
I’ m going to release it at the end of May. I’ m looking forward to hearing what you think.

    She is not only beuatiful but also ingenious.
    The way she conjures up ideas for each shot is remarkable.
    You had better keep an eye on what she has to offer next!"
