I use wazuku, which is Japanese iron from ancient times, and produce teakettles. By applying traditional technology such as horobiki*, the loam mold casting process or iron smelted in a furnace, I aim at the creation of works incorporating modern concepts. *A technique to make a mold by putting a mix of kneaded river sand and clay wash into a molding box, and pulling it around a wooden pattern.

"This piece was created with the fusion of the traditional uba-guchi shape and a geometric pattern in mind. It has a cut-away band all around the shoulder, on which a heart and diamond pattern has been created in a technique called fukihada. In addition, the lugs were designed in ring shape to reduce the area of their contact with the pot and thus impart a sense of tension to the work. *Fukihada is a technique for creating a pattern, in which portions of the pattern are masked and sand is blown at the piece while the mold is wet, so that the masked parts stand out."
