Style
My works are formed by the tsuiki hammering and joining techniques, and decorated by applying the Kaga zogan (inlay) techniques on a black color base; the late MASUDA Mitsuo, my teacher, gave me the following advice, “Keep your passion for poetry and devote yourself to your craft.” I always keep his words in mind, as I pursue the Silk Road series and capture the vitality of nature.
