Each repair is both functional and poetic, transforming fractures into visible landscapes of memory.Her practice is rooted in traditional craftsmanship, drawing from training under renowned urushi master Gen Saratani and further studies with master artisans in Japan and China, and urushi tapping in Joboji, one of the few regions in Japan where natural urushi is still harvested.Her works have been exhibited in Contemplating at Ease (theBLANC, 2023) and IROHA Lake of the Heart (CIBONE Brooklyn, 2023). In addition to private commissions, she leads workshops and collaborations, sharing the quiet philosophy of wabi-sabi and the enduring spirit of Kintsugi with a wider audience.
