    Style

    While keeping in mind the aesthetic essence of Japanese tradition such as Japanese style and grace, I have sought to capture the beauty of objects that have serenity and have kept on creating my works.
    I hope you will feel in my pieces, a lingering moment of beauty and tranquility; a gentle breeze from Kyoto.
