"After studying product design in Japan, my fascination with Nordic design led me to Sweden, where I immersed myself in interior and furniture design. My life and experiences in Sweden have provided me with a fresh perspective on Japan and a new appreciation for its culture. Simultaneously, I've discovered deep-seated similarities between Japan and Scandinavia. These include a sincere appreciation for objects of everyday use and their craftsmanship, a pursuit of comfort and beauty, and a commitment to creating objects of lasting value. With this in mind, my aim is to promote creative Japanese craftsmanship and design for international lifestyles.
