Hello. My name is Samiur Rahman and I'm 18 years old.

I’ve wanted to go to Japan since my childhood and hope to live there one day. In preparation, over the last 4 years I even started teaching myself Japanese using foreign language apps on my cell phone. My interest started out for superficial reasons like my admiration for anime and vocaloid. I started watching Japanese videos on YouTube. However, as I learned more about Japanese history and culture, my fascination for the island grew. For example, did you know Japan was until recently (relatively speaking) completely isolated from the world by a government policy called Sakoku (country in chains)? Sakoku didn’t let anyone leave or enter Japan under penalty of death. When the country opened to the world an interesting culture was revealed.

To show my appreciation, I will send each person who donates a piece of my original artwork. I assume you know that art is my passion and I want to share a little bit of me with all of you.

All the art is digital so you can save it to your favorite device or print and hang it.

Thank you again for your support.
