I previously carved stone in my earlier works, but have moved on to synthetic materials in recent years in my search of a more malleable form.
This was not just a change in materials; rather, it was a part of my own “evolution.” I also consider this a challenge to push my artistic boundaries, as I fuse modern-day materials with traditions and practices that have been handed down for generations in Japan.
