Depending on the species and its design, I am always exploring how best to proceed with the carving. When I am able to see the shining light on the other side of the space, it reminds me of th...

Every time I hit it, I realize that I have returned to the hard, tough zelkova wood. However, rather than the strong impact on my arm, I am captivated by the beautiful texture and grain that are un...

It is a polyhedron with the damaged sapwood removed which cannot be used. Would it be possible for me to represent the strong yet airy expression of a tree blown by the wind using this hard zelkova...

The branches dance freely in the space, but then come together at the top. The greater the freedom, the richer the expressions of light and shadow.--SPACE / W170×H255×D125 mm / 664 g枝々が空間の中...

Roughly and boldly, rough shapes are carved. When carved roughly, the wood shavings are also scattered roughly. The rougher I carve, the rougher my mind becomes, so I sometimes have to restrain mys...

I am now truly enjoying being able to hit it with a chisel as hard as I can.力いっぱいに鑿で叩けるというこのことを、今、心から楽しんでいます。

The very hard woods of zelkova and wild cherry seem to have strengthened my muscle and patience more than I had imagined, because compared to them, this well-dried cypress wood feels surprisingly s...

Designs that I don't know if I am able to carve or not give me thrills, excitement, improved skills, and new possibilities. It is a cypress wood with a large arc-shaped crack. The dimensions a...

Like the cells of a honeycomb, I represented the trunk of a tree, with its various sized undulations and spaces created by birds, small animals, and insects.--CELLS / W145×H70×D115 mm / 419 g蜂の巣...
