Shimabuku initially wanted to be a poet, then a tourist guide. He graduated from Osaka College of Art and the San Francisco Art Institute, and developed an approach based on a deep and continuous empathy with his environment. Shimabuku’s first solo show was held at the Dia Center for the Arts in New York. He has taken part in many group shows around the world. He made a standout contribution to the 2017 Venice Biennale with The Snow Monkeys of Texas: Do snow monkeys remember snow mountains?.
