He writes quiet stories that tilt reality just slightly to reveal a beautiful strangeness in the mundane.

These include an office lady who turns a public toilet into her private space, a girl who keeps riding the same bus to talk with the driver, and a man who leaves things in the office kitchen just to watch his coworker use them.

His novel, Hidehiko and the Social Reintegration Worker, follows a shut-in and the woman assigned to help him rejoin society. Read it on Amazon.
