About

I’m Emi Ideguchi, a librarian-artist based in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. I blend traditional upcycling, vintage styling, and digital art, creating custom stationery, garments, and NFT artworks while supporting library and community activities.

My career spans libraries, small business, and community projects. I enjoy connecting people with culture, nature, and craft, and I love turning worn fabrics and old books into something new that adds value and a story to everyday life.
