ABOUT

Sculpture and Kanshitsu ― inheriting culture creatively

Creation is a discovery.

Our life is also full of discovery.


There is a lot of thrill while being excited.

This is just a living.

A thousand year's beauty, Urushi.

Urushi has been transformed into a bowl, an architecture, and a charm,
they have protected our life and have been close to our daily life.

This is a genealogy of cultured "richness".

I have just gone on a trip with Urushi.

I would like to connect creatively the past-now-future.
