Inside of mojo
-The reason I started drawing picture books-
When the COVID-19 pandemic first started, and I couldn't leave my house for months, I felt like the night never ended even when morning came, and I felt despair without dreams or hope. I strongly wished not to lose hope even in such a world. Through Kechos, I wanted to express the theme that "if you don't give up and bravely take action, the world will change," even in a world where the future is unclear. That's how I started drawing picture books.
