Work Details

This piece is part of a series of sculptures that capture fleeting moments of rich scenery hidden in everyday life.

It is inspired by the outlines of natural elements and landscapes that suddenly catch the eye in the city—houses tucked among trees, clouds beyond buildings, the wind, and pathways. By combining inorganic concrete with cloisonné enamel, I aim to express scenes where nature and urbanity coexist. 

Cloisonné enamel is a traditional craft technique in which a glassy glaze is applied to a metal surface and baked.

Permanently installed in guest rooms at NOZO HOTEL in Furano, Hokkaido.

Sculptor

Using traditional craft techniques, I create three-dimensional works in concrete and metal. Inspired by the landscapes I grew up in, I'm drawn to the contrast and harmony between natural and man-made elements. Through form and color I seek to transform the hard, cold image of concrete into something softer and full of life. I grew up in Tama New Town (Tokyo), a unique area where the beautiful ridgelines sculpted by nature coexist with the rigid vertical and horizontal lines of inorganic concrete structures—symbols of rapid urbanization. This environment, rich with striking contrasts and harmonies between disparate elements, has become the foundation of my artistic expression, inspiring me to create sculptural works. My practice focuses on placing my works in various spaces, such as residences and facilities, where they interact with their surroundings. These installations aim to resonate with and expand the existing environment, offering it new value and meaning. 1996 Born in Tokyo, Japan 2018 BA in Industrial, Interior and Craft Design (Metalwork), Musashino Art University 2020 MA in Industrial, Interior and Craft Design (Metalwork), Musashino Art University 2020 Established a studio in suburban Tokyo Artwork installation Parkwood Hotels Furano Co., Ltd. “NOZO HOTEL”/Hokkaido Medical Corporation Kayaseikai Uchiyama Clinic/Kanagawa T.K-BLOCKS CO., LTD.
