After serving restaurants and wine bars, and importing and selling wine
While continuing the work of proposing the richness of life with wine,
In 2014, use corks that suddenly accumulate casually
I came up with the idea of drawing large pointillism (graphic art).
Thousands of corks were collected to create the first Napoleon Bonaparte.
Since then, over 10 years, he has created 100 portraits using over 200,000 pieces of cork.
Activities became a hot topic on TV, magazines, and various media,
Currently, we also receive orders directly from famous people in Japan and abroad.
I was invited to an international art exhibition held in Azerbaijan in 2019
Local production.
Operated by Philippe Trousier, the former coach of Japan's national soccer team
He is active internationally, such as providing works to wineries in Bordeaux, France.
The work was also selected as a French wine label,
Until now, Burgundy, Languedoc, and Champagne
Work on original labels.
Through a story born from the scrap cork that has finished drinking wine
It aims to communicate with the world.
It is also possible to request production of works.
