About Me

My journey into jewelry began while working as a product planner when I first encountered European antique jewelry and became captivated by its beauty. This fascination led me to leave my job and pursue formal training in jewelry crafting at the age of 48, a decision driven by passion and a dream to create my own designs. Despite starting later in life, I quickly excelled, winning several competition prizes during and after my studies.

As I continued my journey, I discovered a new passion for traditional Japanese metalwork. These techniques, with their unique alloys, patinas, and tools, inspired me to blend them with my Western influences. Rather than replicating traditional styles, I strive to create a unique fusion that embodies elements of both cultures. My work reflects this duality, resulting in jewelry that is both familiar and innovative, a true expression of my artistic vision.
