Style
I make Kosihiwara ware, a Japanese traditional craft, in an area among the mountains in Fukuoka Prefecture,Toho Village, Asakura County.
While following the traditional techniques of our ancestors, I try to make artwork that match our modern lifestyle using new techniques.
I try to add some gorgeousness and modernness by using colors, and add some lightness, sharpness and a sense of tension with the traditional tobikanna patterns (continuous cuts made on the surface using the tip of a small spatula) and engraved lines.
I hope people will enjoy my artwork from various angles.
