    Style

    I am enchanted and guided by the distinctive characteristics of many precious woods including keyaki (Japanese zelkova), and so my monozukuri (art of craftsmanship) is all about wood.

    My lines flowing in harmony with the beauty of wood grains created by nature; my aim is to capture these two elements and with them give life to my works.
