I’m Kat, and I live in Japan with my husband. I have a passion for skincare products and stationary. And some of my favorite things to do are hop on my bike, window-shop, and try new restaurants and coffee shops! I'm also an artist in love with fantasy worlds, light, color, and the feeling of pencil hitting paper just the right way. I run the blog katinjapan.com and create comics whenever I have time.
