Sakura girl with mandolin-Tote Bag by Sleepless Kao

There is a lovely sound from somewhere, sweetly powerful tones

—a girl’s mandolin sensing the spirit of cherry blossoms. 

See you again at that hill where the sakura petals dance with light.

Sleepless Kao is an artist-in-motion who graduated from art school Setsu Mode in Tokyo, specializing in fashion illustration. Since then, she travelled to live and work in San Francisco, Hong Kong, and now Vancouver. She creates her own world of eccentric creatures and personalities which bloom into the void: gigantic space dotted with tiny, intimate kinships and spirits bumping into one another, all of which together narrate signs of life across Sleepless Kao’s dreamy and imaginative universe.

She also makes children’s books for Simply Read Books (Vancouver) and is involved professionally in the production of The Bulletin/Geppo, a Japanese/English bilingual community publication run by the Greater Vancouver Japanese Canadian Citizens’ Association, where she works as an Editor.
