Born in Shiga Prefecture. After majoring in art education at the Faculty of Education at Shiga University, he completed a master's degree at the University of Oregon Graduate School. Currently, based in Kyoto Prefecture, he is involved in the education of Visual Arts and is working on the production of abstract paintings rooted in traditional Japan culture.
In recent years, he has focused on the form of "hanging scrolls", expressing the unique sensibilities and aesthetics of Japan, such as the changing seasons and festivals, through abstract colors and shapes. He tries to depict not only the visible landscape, but also the air, memories, scents, and signs that drift there.

Tamika Jimbo Online Solo Exhibition 色で詠む百人一首 -Colors of a Hundred Poems-
In this exhibition, I selected eight poems that have a connection with me from among the 100 poems, and depicted the scenes and emotions of each poem in traditional Japan colors. Through color and shape, it expresses the meaning of words and the worldview of the song itself.
Through songs sung in the places where he actually lived and visited, he connected his own memories with the memories of ancient poems.
Just as scents and sounds awaken memories, poetry suddenly comes back to your mind the moment you see a painting - I want it to be such a work.
I hope you can enjoy the world of Hyakunin-ichi poems recited by color.
