Yuichiro Katsumoto
Bio
Yuichiro Katsumoto is an artist and educator based in Saitama, Japan. His work focuses on exploring the interplay between letters and images by experimenting with linear objects such as strings, ribbons, and springs.
Artistic expression has long been intertwined with the acts of writing and drawing—processes through which humanity has mastered the compression of the three-dimensional world into two-dimensional lines.

Katsumoto earned his Ph.D. in 2010 from Keio University, specializing in video production, physical computing, and design thinking.
