My musical instrument building career began in 1997 when I worked in quality control and repair at a guitar factory in Nagano, Japan.

And before I started my guitar career, I worked as a kaiseki chef, and the aesthetic sense I developed there is reflected in the designs and philosophy of the instruments I build today.

And also I think instruments are kind of expression tool and  translator.

Sometimes people hard to put into words well,

at that time instruments becomes a tool that connects and helping the somebody and me.

I want to make that can do that and I am working on it.

And it is also one of my own ways to express myself as a human being.

I will deliver to you something unique that combines the philosophy, aesthetic sense, and techniques I have cultivated.
