I trained in Japanese traditional handicraft skills and precious metals as an advanced specialist in Japan. Furthermore, as an RCA student, I have learnt a lot about metal craft while attending college in England.
I believe that the human hand is a gift from human evolution. Even though today there are advanced technologies, including the CAD and 3D printing industry, handicraft products have a rareness and beauty compared to mass-produced manmade products. Moreover, there is an inexpressible complexity in the handicraft world that a machine cannot imitate. Thus, I have decided to develop my works more broadly by striking a balance between the tradition and the modern.
If someone asked me why I started learning jewellery and metalcrafts, I would answer that jewellery and metalcrafts are my vocation.
