About Me

Hi! My name is Seijiro and I’m an artist from Tokyo.

I started Japanese traditional dance when I was 6 years old and acting professionally from 18 years old.
I appeared number of movies, TV dramas and theatre plays in Tokyo. During these days I realized I'm interested about relationship between my body and ambience surrounding me but It’s mutual metaphor of something and environment of that.
Then I founded project space for artist in Tokyo, we did DIY to empty house and bring left-overs from restaurant around there, we were living 8 people together.(Our article→http://neutmagazine.com/interview-factory)

I started this travel from August 2019 to see artist run spaces/ alternative spaces in the whole world.
I've already been to Austria, Germany, Holland, Italy, Marta, Scotland, Israel, Palestine and I'm gonna stay in London till end of February 2020.

I also wanna see people's their own universe it’s like how people live, eat, spend time, relate each other, decorate their room, what is their game, rule, habit etc. That's why I prefer couch surfing.

If you come to Tokyo after 2021 Feb I can be your host:))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It was a really natural thing for me that I became host in our place because we had some extra space and I really love meeting new people. why not. And sometimes we meet again in other country. What a beautiful moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I joined one performance in Vienna. there is 120 performers and we were all naked. We did 3 times for 600 audience each day. so I showed my naked body to 1800 people in a foreign land. It was nice.
