Welcome to the charming, wonky world of self-taught artist Mogu Takahashi

“We’ve long been fans of utterly endearing Japanese artist Mogu Takahashi. From cats in jumpers and rabbits with cheeky glints in their eyes to quick and colourful sketches of plants, her naive gouache paintings are full of joy and charm. “For me drawing and painting are kind of like writing a letter to someone,” Mogu tells It’s Nice That. “I sometimes hide a little secret message in a painting that only my dear reader can understand.”
