Born in the land of rich nature in Japan, Rengetsu loved immersing herself in books and her dreams in her childhood. After starting a job at public institutions, she dedicated her spare time to listening to music and playing musical instruments that she loved.
When she was in her 30s, she entered the Buddhist priesthood under a lay after suffering a severe illness. She now creates Buddhist paintings in bright colors as she works at the university hospital. Her style adds a modern touch to the traditional and highly-valued Japanese Buddhist paintings using bright colors.
She has participated in various exhibitions in and outside Japan, including France, the Netherland, and the U.K., where her works were awarded, prized, or listed in the collection books. Believing that Buddha is the one that saves us in the end having witnessed herself and others wandering between life and death, she wishes to build a bridge that leads those who seek salvation and happiness to Buddha, thus helping them ignite the light of hope for life in them.
