Atsumi was born in Aichi prefecture. She spent her time until 18yrs old in Aichi and moved to Kyoto prefecture to study architecture and 2D design at a university there. She was fascinated by Kyoto's character and visited different places in the city.
Although she always wanted to settle down in Kyoto to spend the rest of her life, she decided to work in Tokyo.
Every time when she saws the advertisement of Kyoto, it makes her to jump in Shinkansen to go back to Kyoto. However, for the time being,, her base of the life is where she is now.
Newspaper cuts enriched by drawings transform Kyoto in a candy bar waiting for an impulse buy. The entire book is a collection of must-have-seen in the japan culture, unavoidable food experience like the Papa Jon's Cheesecake and the Inda Koffee selection. A resort for shopping lovers, the book unfold all the treasures of the World Heritage Town amongst daring temples, gardens, exquisite stores, tearooms and typical objects like a red flowered kimono as well as secret corners to stop by. Mesmerized.
