Work Details
My practice examines the certainty of what we believe we “know,” drawing on information gathered through the senses—things we have seen or touched, as well as presences felt through the body.
The Legs series is composed of mass-produced, antique-style wooden table legs that have been removed from their original function and reassembled. The addition of fur gives these furniture components a tactile presence, blurring the boundaries between object and body, structure and ornament. No longer serving to support anything, the legs cease to be parts of furniture and become unfamiliar objects that exist in their own right.
I work from my studio in Higashimurayama, Tokyo. Depending on the work, I combine a range of techniques and processes, including metalworking, woodworking, fabric manipulation, and 3D printing, carrying out every stage myself.

Artist
Sculptor
Born in 1993. Completed an MFA in Sculpture at Musashino Art University in 2018. Combining ready-made components such as bolts and handles with materials including fabric, iron, and light, the artist creates works that move between sculpture and furniture. This practice reconsiders our relationship with familiar objects and spaces, testing the intensity of perception within everyday life. The artist calls this practice “STILLTHING” and is developing it as a new genre that extends beyond the frameworks of sculpture and furniture.
Selected solo exhibitions include “STILLTHING” at Esther Okada Art Gallery (2026) and “Yellow tower” at Shoonji Temple (2025). Selected group exhibitions include “Absurdists from the Ivory Tower” at BEAMS JAPAN and Isetan Shinjuku (2025). In 2023, the artist’s work was featured in the TBS television drama *18/40: Futari Nara Yume mo Koi mo*. In the same year, the artist was selected as a finalist for the sanwacompany Art Award / Art in the House 2023.
