On Leaving Raspberry Studio（树莓工作室）

After careful consideration, I have officially stepped down from the management and operation of Raspberry Studio (樹莓スタジオ).

Since 2024, I have been involved as a co-founder in the early development of the studio, including its courses, events, and creative projects.

I sincerely want to thank everyone who worked, created, and grew together with me along the way, as well as all the students and friends who trusted me, spent time with me, and shared conversations and learning experiences with us.

To me, Raspberry was never just a studio — it became an important part of my life.

Many of the experiences there genuinely shaped who I am today, and I deeply value the time I spent as part of it.

My decision to leave was reached mutually after discussions surrounding changes in policy, management, and personal future directions.

At the same time, out of responsibility toward education and the students, I will continue to fully commit to the teaching and student guidance currently ongoing within Raspberry Studio. Please don’t worry.

Moving forward, I will continue my activities as a creator, working in animation, art practice, curatorial projects, and education.

If there are new projects or activities in the future, I would be happy to share them with everyone again.

Thank you all for your support over the past years.

And I sincerely wish Raspberry Studio all the best in the future.
