A leather artist born in Tokyo in 1986, currently based in Chiba Prefecture. Her journey into leatherwork began with scraps left over from upholstery work. She produces a wide range of pieces that make the most of leather's unique properties — from bowls and trays formed by stretching leather over molds, to sculptural works built up through layering techniques. She approaches everything she makes, whether functional or purely artistic, with equal care as a singular work.
