I apply glaze to plate glass, overlay it, fire it, polish it, and then create my works.
My hometown, the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture, is rich in nature and is surrounded by white snow in the winter. The expression of nature, which has blown in and out of existence, makes me feel both preciousness and sadness. I draw snow, fallen leaves, bubbles, and other decaying and disappearing things in nature on plate glass, and create three-dimensional forms with vessels as the motif, based on the theme of "storing" and "storing". I feel that vessels consist of the form of "feelings" as I make them day by day. Like a puddle on the ground, I create vessels that lovingly contain things that flow away and disappear.
