By borrowing the power of materials and motifs, and combining them in my work, I feel as if a vague image in my mind is becoming a form. I hope to convey my thoughts and feelings through my works, just as I convey my thoughts through my actions when I write or say ・・・・. I use Japanese cypress as the main material, paint it with lacquer, and color it. I combine motifs of people and animals with "flowers", "tail fins", "wings" ・・・・ and other motifs that I associate with conveying and delivering my messages. I would like to create works of art by combining motifs of people and animals, flowers, tail fins, and wings (), which remind me of my own feelings of conveying and delivering messages.
