I use the nawame hishi sashiami (rope and lozenge plaiting) technique on producing my artwork. Recently, I weave an "armor" over this. As the shadows of the woven bamboo are beautiful when looking into the vessel, I have been making vessels with wide mouths for the past 2 years as I wanted people to see more of the inside of the vessel. I am also working on bundle plaiting. I made a basket using this technique which I learned from Soho Katsushiro during 2017 – 2018, and received the Yamaguchi Branch Manager Award at the Yamaguchi Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2020. I am also using a technique called kushimeami which my master Kochikusai Tanabe learned from his master Shounsai Shono (Living National Treasure), and am trying to make a new form with this technique.

I took part in the "Important Intangible Cultural Property Successors' Training Program" held in 2017 and 2018 and learned the "masawari bundle plaiting" technique. I made many samples using this technique, and I finally came up with this design from one of the samples. The basket is a three-layer structure consisting of the bundle plait, the orange ajiro weave and the back side.
