- Dolls
- 1957 -
As my mother loved dolls and was a disciple of Michiko Iezato, who was the disciple of Ryujo Hori, one of the first to become Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property for "Costume Dolls", I grew up surrounded by dolls. Following in the wake of Ryujo Hori's style, I try to make dolls that people can empathize with based on the idea that "dolls have hearts".
