Over the past decade few female comic artists have been as beloved
as Fumi Yoshinaga. Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1971, Yoshinaga is a
graduate of the prestigious Keio University of Tokyo. A lifelong
comic artist and story teller, she made her perfessional debut in
1994 with her short series, The Moon and the Sandals, serialized in
Hanaoto magazine, but was previously a participant in many indie
comic and fanzine conventions.
Since her debut Yoshinaga has been 16 series, a few of which have
been adapted into motion pictures and animated TV series. Her work
on Antique Bakery sent her into international fame and she has been
nominated for the Eisner Award for her titles - Flowers of Life and
Ooku-The Inner Chamber. Of Yoshinaga's many works, several have
been licensed internationally. She recently exhibited her work in
the United States with the touring gallery "Shojo Manga- Girl
Power!" (Vancouver, Sacramento, New York, Chicago, Boston).
