I produce my artwork by applying kirikane to the wooden base formed on a lathe. The wooden bases are made by my husband, Nobuhito. I don't color the wood as I use dark colored wood such as red sandalwood, mulberry, Japanese zelkova and persimmon-wood. I try to make the most of the form and original color of the wooden base. I try to make artwork that can only be made with kirikane by mixing straight and curved gold leaf and adding some movement by changing the density and amount of gold leaf.
