Shinzi Katoh is more than an artist—he is a true master of design and storytelling. With over 50 years of design experience, his creative vision is unlike any other. Through his designs, he beautifully bridges imagination and empathy—whether honoring the poet Kenji Miyazawa, reinterpreting literature classics or raising awareness of endangered species. His works and vision of honoring literary greats have been deeply meaningful to Paper Treats.
