[About Ceramics]
I have been searching for a place to express myself through form, and I have found it in the form of ceramics.
I do everything by hand, from clay making, molding, patterning, glazing, and firing.
I mainly produce flowerpots, tableware, interior goods, and objets d'art.
I love plants, shells, and patterns, and I like to make things with them as motifs.
I make a variety of things with free ideas, without being bound by any frame of reference.

[Things I value]
I really like creating things, drawing pictures, and creating things.
I love nature and plants, and I get energy from them every day and use them in my creative activities.
I'm grateful to be able to create while being excited and thinking, "What should I make today?"
Cherishing your honest feelings at the time, ``Create now what you want to create now.''I am free to think outside the box and engage in various creative activities based on my curiosity.
