Raised in a very crafty family in the Midlands, before moving to Tokyo after university and then finally settling in London, Tom Katsumi started cross stitching / embroidery as a result of live-stitching the results of the 2015 UK General Election.
Amongst other things, he likes to sew the films of his childhood, some political satire, interesting snippets from history and (to relax) the occasional manga.
