The way

Based on the concept of “white poetry,” I created a special work that functions both as a bookend and as a box-shaped lamp.

A pure white world spread out in a paperbook-sized wooden box.

doors, windows, sofas, lamps, bicycles, animals, broken sailboats, letterpress printers, countless small books made of paper --

Delicate shapes born from familiar materials such as wood, paper, and metal wire show a serene beauty of shadows during the day and a warm expression of light at night.

A “white poem” is a poem spelled in form rather than words.

light and shade. Opposites harmonize quietly in a small box, bringing peace and imagination to the viewer.

When I was a child who loved reading books, the experience of stories emerging from flat words is the origin of this formative world.

An expression born from trial and error, through self-taught learning of various techniques.

When arranged on a bookshelf, books spelled out in words and poems spelled out in form harmonize beautifully.

In a relationship where they need and support each other, each box is an independent short story, and as a whole, they are connected by a single worldview called “white poetry.”

This is a room where you don't rush anywhere.

A place where accumulated time and thoughts that have yet to have a name lie quietly.

A world where those who once let go of their way are kept only by the depth of their breathing, with the fact that they are “here.”

A serenity that stays just before meaning is reached.

The margins I still can't put into words

It is gently protected along with the light.

On the night when the day was just a little heavy,

In a quiet moment when I forgot to take a deep breath, when I light this light,

I'm only allowed a little bit of forgiveness for who I am now.

A room where you breathe unfinished.

day and night.

You can enjoy two worlds.

You can switch the impression of the light with the two switches on the back.

Enjoy a viewing experience where different shadows are created during the day and night, and the depth of the story changes.

This is a record of how the new studio in Hyogo took shape.

It records how little by little the light and air of the place where the work is created is being prepared along with the quiet flow of time.

day and night.

A world in a box where two scenes change.

On my website, in addition to being able to view the works currently being released through the online store, you can also view all of my previous productions and past works.

The online store offers some works at prices that are slightly more affordable than the ones on display. I would be happy if you could relax and enjoy the world of the work.
