Kaoru Asahina (she/her)
Kaoru Asahina is a picture book author and illustrator from Japan.
While living in Japan, she worked as an antique dealer and also painted in watercolours. However, she made a big decision to study for a Masters at the Cambridge School of Art, and now creates work focusing on monoprinting with geliplate and collage. She says, ‘It's hard to tackle a completely new technique, but it's really exciting and thrilling.’
Thanks to this charming city, Kaoru Asahina has created a number of new stories. She is continuing to develop these stories with the aim of publishing them as picture books in the future.
