PROFILE

Born in Tokyo.
He studied under American glass artist Zii in 2016.

 

The monsters I create are created from my own complexes, people I meet, and other things that make me look like a monste, from events that have happened to me, and from world events.monster.
I create works that focus on empathy and that have a story behind each one.

I did street culture for over 10 years, which is done on a bike called BMX.
The experience I gained from being in such a street environment for many years is the starting point for the ideas of my current works.

I work with a technique called burner work, in which glass is placed in the fire of a burner and melted as it is created.
I learned the technique from Mr. Zii, a glass artist in the United States.

The material I use is a type of tempered glass called borosilicate glass.
This glass is an ideal material for display and storage, as it is resistant to cracking due to tipping over or falling and does not deteriorate over time.
