A original work for the rug design, Gold award win

A original work for the rug design, Gold award winning piece in “Chaser Senior” @gcdcawards 2020… 2 years ago, just before world has been changed…🤔

I am grateful to had a wonderful opportunity to create the rug with @therugcompany . One of my dreams, walking on my piece has literally came true here!! I am so so excited! My 3D carved rug “Hibiki” is a Japanese word that means harmony and resonance. (Someone knows well...🥃). For me, this is a moment that the historical skills, silk carving and silver chasing both harmonised on these magnolia patterns.

With other four great artists from @sarabandefoundation @stephen.doherty @artistandgal @castrosmith @mircea.teleaga

I joined @studio10sheffield a while ago.:D I am so excited to work with talented guys!

Since I came to Sheffield, Chihiro and I are enjoying Yorkshire life. Many great beer breweries and natures are here! My highlight is a chip butty in @rutlandarms with @khooshotsauce 🔥🔥
シェフィールドも美味しいビールと自然豊かで良いですよ、パブで食べる北の名物チップバティ(揚げポテトをパンで挟んだやつ)悪くないです🙆‍♂️

Tea ceremony equipments 3/3: Tea whisk case.
I had a special commission. In the Japanese tea ceremony, a tea is whisking in front of a guest by this bamboo whisk. Matcha powder is evenly dissolved and tea formed slight creamy microbubble. This case is important to keep the tea quality to protect sensitive curly whisk.

The pearl is also a feature of a myth around Cleopatra, which has the Egytpian queen dissolving a huge pearl in a cup of vinegar, then drinking the liquid once it had dissolved. “What could be more decadent?” asks Witter. “We’re certainly questioning ideas of value in this piece.” A work which, with its layers of meaning and complete fusion of collaboration, is a wonder in many ways.⁠

Emma Witter, a bone collector who fashions her finds into elaborate decorative structures, and the silversmith Shinta Nakajima are the furthest apart of this project’s participants. “I love the way he transforms hard materials into gently undulating objects that appear so light and soft, that are irrestible to touch” says Witter. Meanwhile in her use of bones, Nakajima sees a relationship to Shintoism, in which remaining bones are picked out of cremation ashes and transferred to an urn. Together they decided to create a table centre that would not just combine their very different skills but also make reference to traditional objets d’art, such as the nautilus cups created in 16th and 17th century Europe.⁠

In the deep greenish ravine and crumbled granite. These reminded me of the joy of midsummer in Japan.
The finished piece is shortlisted to “49th Dento-Kogei Japan Metal Crafts Competition”. 日本の夏、キンチョーの夏
