Shortly afterwards, she settled in Paris, where for three decades she created a prolific body of work that captivated leading haute couture houses and the international textile industry. She belongs to the same generation as Yayoi Kusama, Yoko Ono, and Shigeko Kubota, who, like her, brought the spirit of Japanese modernity to the West.
