Jewellery to remind you of earlier epoques. You recall... sometime, somewhere... you saw, or touched, or maybe wore these.
You know that your spirit seems to realise this.....
I have always been drawn to something historical. Images from ancient time speaks to me.
And stones, beads, all those materials are waiting to be discovered and to be made into something through which they can recall their memories.
Reminiscences of earth, civilization, epoque, human beings....
My jewellery often resembles objects made from gold... but this is not the case.
I use polymer clay to combining with semi-precious stones, fused glass pieces, Czech crystal stones etc...
Then I decorate with metallic (gold or silver) mica powder.
This technique allows me to explore many possibilities in design and form to create gorgeous jewellery
without being 'emperor/empress' of the contemporary world .
Born in Japan : following Kyoto City University of Art M.A. (lacquer crafts),
I worked over a decade as a contract designer to fashion/ costume jewellery manufacturers.
After moving to London I began creating jewellery according to my own style and taste.
I display and sell my work in selected galleries and shops, mainly in south-west London and Tokyo.
