Concept: 弱者の美学 The Beauty of Vulnerability 

My practice begins with an acceptance of imperfection.

What appears fragile or incomplete is not a flaw, but an opening―a threshold into transformation. From such encounters arises the “as it is”: a presence that resists closure, extending beyond itself into the unbounded world. To move with the unformed, to remain in dialogue with what cannot be fixed, is to give shape to an aesthetic of vivid physicality.

Japanese art has long evolved through deviation from orthodoxy. The early assimilation of continental culture brought both enrichment and a lingering sense of insufficiency, which in turn gave rise to distinctive forms of embellishment and heterogeneity. From this tension emerged sensibilities such as wabi and sabi―an embrace of imperfection, asymmetry, and ambiguity as sources of resilience and depth.

My work seeks to carry this lineage forward. It resists enclosure within fixed artistic systems and affirms freedom through openness. By accepting vulnerability, the work remains in continual transformation―revealing beauty not in perfection, but in things as they are.
