「 Resonance 」 - 共鳴 -
自然の中で遊び、森にある材料で遊びを作っていた子供時代。
生活する上で木の道具に囲まれたらどんなに幸せだろうと思ったのが木工挽物加工を始めたきっかけ。
プロダクトデザインの学校を卒業した後に伝統工芸士のもと10年修業。
「ものを通じて幸せと感動を共に創り出す」を志しに独立。
2016年にLEXUS NEW TAKUMI PROJECTの静岡県代表で参加した事から、私の視野は日本全国に広がりました。
2019年にフォーリサローネ(イタリア)にて出展をし、ものづくり世界の広さを実感しました。
2023年に日本和文化グランプリ Excellent Award受賞。
ものづくりの可能性を広げる為に今までにはなかった挽物技術との掛け合わせや違った素材との融合、視点を変える事などを日々挑戦し続けていく。

When I was a child, I used to play in nature and make toys out of the things I discovered in the forest.
Later, I began woodturning because I imagined how thrilled I’d be if I were constantly surrounded by wooden tools.
After graduating from a product design school, I spent ten years working under a traditional Japanese craftsman before going independent with a singular goal in mind: to inspire happiness and excitement with the products that I make.
Since my participation in the LEXUS NEW TAKUMI PROJECT as a Shizuoka Prefecture representative commencing in 2016, my visibility as an artist has grown in Japan. I became aware of the sheer breadth of craftsmanship in 2019 when I took part in the Fuorisalone exhibition in Milan, Italy.
In 2023, I was honored with the Excellent Award at the Japan Wabunka Grand Prix.
I push myself every day to broaden the scope of my work by experimenting with new wood turnery techniques, combining various materials, and adopting fresh approaches in order to increase countless manufacturing possibilities.
