Black Rabbit
The illustrator of the year at the Bologna International Children's Book Fair 2022.
Osena's new piece, The Black Rabbit, is a picture book that tells the story of the earth's pain through the metaphor of a rabbit. When viewed from a distance, nature is simply a beautiful sight with all-natural colors, but when you look closely, it has a completely different appearance. Hiding inside the giant black rabbit, is the trash people throw away. In the end, the garbage explodes brilliantly. What was splendidly wrapped the green mountains soon turn into pretty seeds and fly in the sky. Maybe these were the desires and greed built up in people's minds.

Oh Sena
(English) I love to observe and think about small and trivial things. This is because they gather to become a story. I would love to write and illustrate picture books which embrace philosophy without being overwhelming. Other books I wrote and illustrated include Robot Friend and Eraser.
(French) Elle aime observer et penser aux petites choses. Cet ensemble devient une histoire. Elle voudrait écrire des livres illustrés qui contiennent la philosophie des petites choses. Les livres que elle a écrits et illustrés incluent « Mon ami, Robot » et « Gomme à effacer ».
(Chinese) 我的视线总是停留在微不足道的地方，在以此讲述生活的哲学故事。阅读本书的读者也请仔细观察这种细微之处吧，其中会包含我们的所有人生故事。2020/2022年，《冰山》与《黑兔》入选“博洛尼亚国际儿童图书展年度插图画家”；2023年，《俄罗斯方块》获得“纳米比赛绿岛奖”。
(Japanese) 私たちは普段小さくて些細なところに目を留めます。私はその眼差しに暮らしの哲学を取り入れて物語を作ります。この本を読んでくださる皆さんも小さくて些細なものにじっくりと目を向けてください。その中に私たちの暮らしのすべてが盛り込まれているはずです。2020年に『氷山』、2022年に『黒うさぎ』がボローニャ国際児童図書展の「今年のイラストレーター」に選定、2023年『テトリックス』で国際的な絵本賞（※有名なんでしょうか。説明があると分かりやすい気がしました）ナミコンクールのグリーンアイランド賞を受賞。
