Short Bio:
Born in Japan in 1978, Reiji Isoi grew up in Tokyo and Kansai area (East and West) in Japan. His family, masters of Japanese lacquer, introduced him to arts and crafts early on. Inspired by his grandfather, a painter who valued an artist’s way of life as much as their work, he chose to pursue a broader creative field rather than traditional craftsmanship. Initially aspiring to be a musician, he realized his true passion was in visual arts. At university, he majored in informatics, learning media, interactive art, and digital art. He has worked as a freelance photographer and filmmaker under the self-started company based in Tokyo. Continues to explore visual arts through photography and collaboration with various materials and method.
