In Kochi of Shikoku Island in the West of Japan there exist a lot of beautiful beaches facing the Pacific Ocean. This is the place where Yoshi Matsugi was born and raised.

After receiving a master’s degree from the prestigious Tokyo University of Art, Yoshi discovered the fascinating and creative world of sand sculpture. From Asia to Europe and Canada to the US, Yoshi has been the first and only female Japanese pound-up style professional sand sculptor that has broken into the international arena.
