UKIYO is a Japanese word that means living in the moment and detached from all bothers in life.
This world inspires me:
Creating lucid dream feelings, I was influenced by ancient techniques and modern concepts across countries. It is my honour to be born in a country with a thick and deep cultural background. It gives me the chance to look back to search for inspiration. I was always fascinated by the philosophical concept of BALANCE. Finding the balance between the softness of special rice paper and the hardness of brush is the true meaning of creation. And I believe that it is the key to a home full of happiness. Studying at Swinburne University also inspires me to open my mind, to absorb new ideas and to respect diverse cultures.
