THE ARTIST

ABOUT MIKAMI-SAN

My name is Sora Mikami. I am a Japanese woman living in the United Kingdom. I have always been passionate about drawing, and these books are my way of having fun!

The Kintsugi Mind was born from a simple idea: what if coloring could be more than just coloring? What if each page could carry a piece of Japanese wisdom, something to sit with, to think about, to feel?

Every illustration is brought to life with care, the philosophy woven into each design. Whether it is the golden cracks of kintsugi or the empty space of ma, every design is an invitation to slow down and reflect.

If you enjoyed my coloring books as much as I enjoyed drawing them, please consider leaving a review on Amazon. It would mean the world to me!

Thanks again and all the best,
Mikami-san

Really satisfied with my purches. The texture of the paper is a perfect match for my wide range of crayons feel-wise, escpecially when compared to other coloring books. It's a great way to relax and exercise my creativity. Lines are clear and well drawn, I can't wait for the newer book to drop. Would recommend !

Amazing book

This was one of the best coloring books I have ever purchased. The designs were incredibly detailed, making this one of the most relaxing experiences, helping me cool down after a long day. The final product as well, no matter what colors I filled it in with, was so beautiful. The blank page was a super smart move from the author as it made sure the colors on the different drawings didn't overlap. Overall 10/10 experience, I highly recommend. I wish there were more drawings tho!!
