Yamazuki Mari, AKA Yama Moon, is a graduate of the Department of Graphic Design at Tohoku University of Art and Design in Japan, but she gravitated more towards illustration and digital art.
As an illustrator, she blends new and traditional influences in artworks for book covers, manga and character design. Her images are often dark and mysterious, with a folk quality to them, and they vividly portray humans and beasts, in particular wolves and cats, or catlike creatures.
