Born in Kyoto, Japan in 1982. Kashiki graduated from the Oil Painting course of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Kyoto City University of Arts in 2006, completed the master's program in Painting (Oil Painting) at the Graduate School of Arts, Kyoto City University of Arts in 2008, and completed the doctoral program in Fine Arts (Painting) at the same graduate school in 2011. Kashiki creates paintings of extremely delicate rendering on smooth surfaces. Although the expression recalls Buddhist painting and Nihonga, the medium is mainly acrylic paint, and the smooth surface is achieved by polishing it again each time another layer is painted. With unstable perspective, androgynous figures and unreal scenes, Kashiki conjures a tranquil, dreamlike world. Kashiki has taken part in many international exhibitions, including the Yokohama Triennale 2011, the 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, the 4th Moscow International Biennale for Young Art (2014) and "Japanorama" at the Centre Pompidou-Metz (2017). In 2016 Kashiki held a solo exhibition in "Aperto," the program introducing emerging artists at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. The works are in the collections of The National Museum of Art, Osaka, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa and the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (Brisbane), among others.
