	<description><![CDATA[Sculpture representing the trunk and branches of tree.
In creating my works, I represent trees that live in harsh natural environments where they are affected by strong winds and snow, especially the undulating trunks of giant trees and the twisted branches of trees. Every time I came across such trees, I couldn't help but stop, and my heart was drawn to them, and I began to desire to create works with them as their theme. 

樹木の幹や枝を表現した彫刻。
作品の制作において、激しい風や雪の影響を受ける厳しい自然環境の中で生きる樹木たち、特にうねる巨木の幹や、ねじれた木々の枝々を表現しています。そのような樹木たちに出会うたびに、つい立ち止まってしまい、どうしようもなく心惹かれ、彼らをテーマとした作品をつくりたいと願うようになりました。

I handle all processes by myself, from the design, sculpture, painting, photography, and website creation. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to create one piece of work. I put my heart and soul into every step of the process until I am completely satisfied with each piece. Once the sculpture is complete, the work is ready to go on its journey by applied paint, photographed, and posted on the website and social media. Nothing would make me happier than if it could be an encouragement not only to those who love nature and those who care about the forest, but also to those who are fighting and making efforts in various fields.

作品のデザイン、彫刻、塗装、撮影、そしてウェブサイト制作に至るまで、すべての工程をひとりの手で行っております。そのため、一点の作品を制作するためには多くの時間が必要になります。一点一点どの工程においても、納得がいくまで気持ちを込めて仕上げています。 彫刻が完成した作品は、塗料を施し、撮影し、ウェブサイトやソーシャルメディアに掲載されることで、旅に出る準備が整います。自然を愛する方々、森を想う方々だけではなく、さまざまな分野で闘い、努力している方々の励みになれば、これほど嬉しいことはありません。]]></description>
