祝福
小能楽「羽衣」より。天人が地上を祝福し、宝を降らせて舞う姿。「宝」とは人々の「幸せ」そのものである。宝が降り注ぎ、華やかで幸せな気持ちになれるように思いを込めている。天人が舞う姿を緊迫の鳳凰で豪華に表現し、足元には春の三保の松原を描いている。
Immortality Momoju
Model
I've loved eating peaches in the backyard since I was little. I still love peaches, and when I see them, I buy them. Peach is familiar to people's lives such as old tales and peach festivals. Suddenly, when I looked into "peach", it was called "God's fruit" in Japanese mythology, and in China it was called "Senka", a hermit's food, and it is said to have the power of immortality and longevity. Feeling the tremendous power of the familiar peaches, I expressed my own auspicious peaches with the wishes of immortality and longevity.
Zodiac "Toranokami"
Model
There is always a guardian deity somewhere in the house. I wish I could be a supporter of my heart for a year. With that in mind, I am creating the guardian deity of the zodiac. It seems that the year of the tiger will be a year in which life is born and grows. I had an uneasy time due to the prolonged corona sickness, but I hope that the days when spring will come and you can spend your time freely as the vegetation grows will come back soon. I expressed a powerful "Toranogami" that seems to start moving so as to become a reassuring guardian deity. May you have a year of blessing.
Masterpiece
Daruma doll (gold, red, blue)
2018 model
A unique lucky charm that makes the face of "Daruma" even if it is turned upside down. After trial and error, I wanted to create a three-dimensional work like trick art that I could see and enjoy, and after trial and error, I completed "Daruma Maruda" that I could pick up and flip over to enjoy. Sometimes, like the teachings of Bodhidharma Daishi, I do my best with an indomitable spirit, and sometimes I can smile. Change your face in today's mood, change to a smile when you reach your goal, and enjoy each way.
Think
2016 model
"Thinking" expresses the spirit of thinking about the other person and the hometown. It is a work that embodies the gentle feeling of thinking about an important person even if it is far away. We draw auspicious "chrysanthemums" with prayers for immortality and longevity.
Three-sided Daikokuten
2016 model
The military commander "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" who achieved the unification of the world is known for his deep faith in Sanmen Daikokuten. The three-sided Daikokuten is the strongest god of good fortune, with the front side being Daikokuten, the right side being Bishamonten, and the left side being the face of Benzaiten. Daikokuten is the god of fertility and fortune, Bishamonten is the god of good luck and fortune, and Benzaiten is the god of arts and literary arts, and is also known as the god of good fortune.

Izutsu on the water mirror
2015 one-of-a-kind work
The appearance of Narihira wearing a keepsake and reflecting himself in a water mirror to remember the image of Narihira is sad and fantastic. It is a popular work of pure love that revives beyond time and space, and I felt a single-minded heart that loves people who have not changed in the past, and I made it. It is carefully colored with gold powder to further enhance the beauty of the Noh costume, which is called Narihirabishi.

All cicadas are made using the traditional techniques of Hakata dolls. The branches of the tree are colored to give it a more realistic feel, and Yakusugi is used for the stand.
Hagoromo
2008 one-of-a-kind work
"Hagoromo" is a popular and auspicious performance of Noh, a traditional performing art that represents Japan. The best highlight of the celestial maiden dancing and dropping the treasure has been shaped.
Appear from the waves
2007 one-of-a-kind work
It was when I went to see Noh "Funa Benkei" at the Noh theater. The appearance of Taira no Tomomori, who still challenges the battle even if he becomes a ghost, was the best showcase, and he was fascinated by the power. Produced with the desire to reproduce that power and excitement. Suddenly thunder started to thunder and a storm broke out, and Taira no Tomomori with a naginata beautifully portrayed an impressive scene appearing from the waves in a Noh costume, expressing Taira no Tomomori with a strong presence.
