Shogo Onoe always felt like a stranger in his homeland of Japan. As a creative soul and a passionate autodidact – having taught himself for most of his childhood – he’s a firm believer in the value of self-taught learning. Pursuing his dreams of being an artist and writer, Shogo draws his inspiration from great authors including the works of Henry Miller and Knut Hamsun. He has a love of travel and adventure, having visited Canada, Mexico, Australia, Germany, Hungary, and much of Europe in his twenties through his early thirties. Shogo’s wanderings drove him to forge his own path through life, one where he dedicates his time to writing, being an artist, and staying true to himself.
