Artist Statement

 

Unleash the regularity of traditional Japanese patterns.

A dynamic design that combines different Japanese patterns

A fusion of paper cutting and gold leaf.

Using various materials, digital and analog

By cleverly combining

It expands the possibilities of paper cutting.

And from the tranquil artwork

From practical items to brighten up your life

Beyond the traditional boundaries of paper cutting

We aim to expand this technology to a variety of uses.

 

My work is a blend of tradition and innovation, stillness and movement.

Beyond the boundaries between art and industry

This is an attempt to discover new value in paper cutting.
