Profile
Currently, as an artist, I install monuments and sculptures across the country. At the same time, I am expanding my activities beyond traditional design fields into interior, product, environmental, and spatial design. I also serve as a design advisor for local government projects, promoting comprehensive branding that utilizes traditional crafts, local products, and technologies found in regional areas.
Additionally, under the direction of JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) and ODA (Official Development Assistance), I am working on branding that connects Japan with other countries, laying the groundwork for expansion into foreign markets. If successful, I hope to open these pathways to others as well.
I am also involved in branding sacred items that use old materials and offerings from the restoration of shrines and temples, such as Nara’s Yakushiji Temple (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Kashihara Shrine, and Shimogamo Shrine.
My strength lies in developing strategies for market entry and branding, as well as creating presentation and expansion methods. Since I am also a creator myself, I work closely with other creators to foster new collaborative projects. I emphasize the importance of logo and name development for new brands. I also advocate for intellectual property management and work closely with experts in that field, promoting IP integration, including patents, designs, and trademarks (as recommended by the Japan Patent Office).
In my personal work, I focus on the theme of “Nature and Law of the Universe,” crafting products that reflect this philosophy, blending technology and tradition to create originality. Recently, I have been actively exploring new material development, incorporating textiles, leather, and Japanese paper, and developing various products centered around the theme of the “Moon.”
Connections are treasures!
