Statement
I believe that jewellery has the power to encourage people, enrich their spirits, and make them happy when wearing one. Only one is merely a silver wire. However, it shines by a gather. Its brilliance is evanescent beauty, it is light and delicate. I have to cherish the sense of Japanese aesthetics. I hope that people pick up my jewelry to find themselves smiling and warming their hearts.Using a 0.26mm-0.8mm silver wire, giving the appearance of a sparkle of light. Fleetingly beautiful and at times intimidating, capturing the moments of hand-made innovation, designed as a culmination of human emotions.
Crystallization of Happiness～Timeless～
Inspired by the powerful moment of experiencing the Earth's rotation through viewing Foucault's Pendulum.
Crystallization of Happiness～A hint of Nature～
Created with respect for the strength and sadness in nature. Combining years of culture and history, inspired by the beauty and delicacy in the art of jewelry.
Crystallization of Happiness～Nature interrupted ～
Utilizing the oxidation process of a burner, representing the strength of a woman's core.
Assembled while brazing using silver wire of 0.3mm-0.8mm. An original tool for that purpose is made and brazing is possible. Making tools is very important. The tip of the silver wire is melted one by one with a welder and polished.
In order to enhance the expression of the silver wire, we are researching coloring by baking it with black oxide and then baking titanium oxide and patina. I value the expression of burner work such as brazing, melting expression of the metal, coloring by baking, and oxide film.
