Welcome to Hisami's world

Hi, I'm Hisami Shirahama.
I'm a storyteller who finds magic in everyday moments.
In September 2024, I had the joy of publishing my first picture book "Kagayaku Moyamoya" (Shining Haze) with Bungei-sha publishing house.
My writing springs from life's simple wonders – those little moments that spark inspiration and make my heart want to tell stories. Here, you'll find a collection of my creative journey through words and photographs, each piece carrying a fragment of the world as I see it.
Think of this space as your cozy reading nook, where you can pause, reflect, and perhaps discover a spark of brightness to carry with you.

"Kagayaku Moyamoya"
Where did we really come from…? Who are we, really?
I’ve woven into a story the answers I found to these questions that lived in my heart, the truths I discovered along the way. I’ve created many interactive elements so that both young children and adults can enjoy the experience through various senses – through pictures, words, sounds, and colors.
