Born in Japan, 1994. Since childhood, I have believed that an object possesses a spirit, and beauty emerges when each thing fulfills its purpose. This beauty becomes a ‘survival strategy,’ allowing objects to be cherished over time, embedding themselves in people’s lives as fragments of memory and landscape.
