At the age of 21, she suddenly got to leave Japan and moved to UK; there she studied mainly 17th and 18th Century Decorative Arts at Sotherby's Educational Studies in London for 2 years and then worked for a property company there to study 'real interiors in the real antique buildings'.
After coming back to Japan, she got involved in an antique furniture company and studied design by herself by watching many copies of old drawings and drafts of europian furniture, ornaments and building details, which she had collected in Europe when she was there.
