[AZY] is a Japanese illustrator and card reader born in Tokyo in 1992. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Illustration from the University of Brighton in the UK in 2015, she began her freelance career in Japan, creating commissioned work for magazines, production companies, and live events. Influenced by Japanese subcultures such as manga and anime from an early age, her work reflects a colorful and playful visual language. Alongside her illustration practice, she offers intuitive card readings as a way to explore inner narratives and unseen connections.
In 2022, she relocated to Wakayama, expanding her practice beyond illustration into collage, writing, and DIY risograph zines as part of her ongoing life journey. Through years of creation and introspection, this process culminated in the oracle deck COSMIC VECTOR AZY: Oracle Cards, released in 2025. Her work can be found on Instagram @azy_azy_azy.
