ご挨拶Greeting
小さな時間を積み重ねたその先に、つくりたいものがあります。
時間を惜しまずに、素材の持つ優しさを形の上に表現できればと思っています。
うつろう四季の流れを大切に、使い手の日常にそっと寄り添えるような作品を作りたいです。
Beyond the countless moments, there lies something I wish to create.
In harmony with time and nature, I patiently render the tenderness of materials upon each form.
Cherishing the ever-changing flow of the seasons, I craft pieces that gently accompany everyday life.

Artist Statement
For over 30 years, I have dedicated myself to Japanese lacquer, balancing tradition and innovation.
My journey began with my father, learning “Kyushitsu” (lacquer application) and natural lacquer refinement. Over time, I cultivated my own lacquer trees, deepening my connection to the material.
Through “Kigawa”, “Harinuki” and “Ikkannbari”, I create works that embrace natural irregularities and unique textures. My pieces embody the spirit of time, nature, and craftsmanship.
Lacquer is a living medium, evolving with time to reveal depth and luster. I continue to explore its clarity and richness, striving to express the essence of this timeless craft.
