HS-20 |

The
Picture-story show |
HS-19 |
This work was designed for an exhibition that theme is “Story”.
The
theme is "story", but I do not want to make it a particular story
work.
I made a work with a picture-story motif as an association of "story".
The story begins, when the cover of the book is opened.
However, the
story does not advance if the pages aren’t turned.
What kind of story
will it turn out to be when the pages begin turning?
The picture was
printed with a UV printer.
Created : 04/2017Size : 120×97×50 mm
Material : shiuri cherry, mayumi, etc.

hand one by one.

 Kinoko Box

storage part is 63.5×38×40cm.

HS-16 |
This work was designed for
an exhibition that theme is “Space”.
I wanted to make a box that opened while you held it up, instead of
looking down at it.
Work is busy every day. On the way home you let out a
sigh. You stop and look up at the starry sky. What do you wonder about?

AN-DON
|
HS-15 |
This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2015.
An andon was used during the Edo Period to illuminate a
room. It was shaped as a square
box which held the four-sided paper lantern inside.
Candles were too expensive so the lanterns were lit with small
containers of oil with wicks in them. Earlier
models had handles on top and could be carried through the room.
The ari-ake an-don was used as a night light and kept lit with oil
all through the night. You could
use it two ways; kept in the small box with a minimal amount of light
shining through or pulling the paper lantern all the way up out of the box
for brighter illumination of the room.

Ramen
delivery box |
HS-14 |
This work was designed for an exhibition that theme is “2”.
It is a box that is used when
catered dishes are delivered. The ramen bowls are
picked up from customers homes after they have finished eating.
I was particular about making the
tray which was the key to this work. Please open
the cover to the second step of the top properly.

 Mail Box |
HS-13 |
This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2014. It is very
difficult to convey ones feeling in a letter.
Even after completing the letter, you may decide not to actually send it.
If ones true feelings are conveyed even through the distance, surely the
receivers heart grows fonder as well.

 Twin tub washing machine |
HS-12 |
This work was designed for an exhibition that theme is “Nostalgic”. It is
a clear day to dry laundry outside.
I want to take the clean laundry out of the washer but it’s all twisted up
and won’t come out.
Finally after struggling with it, this is how it comes out.

 Travel pillow |
HS-11 |
This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2013.
I have been interested in the Travel Pillow for some time. It was a wooden
box pillow that was popular during the Edo period for travel.
When it was actually used, items required for the trip, such as a light or a
mirror, were stored compactly inside.

 Sewing box
|
HS-9 |
This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2012.
A long time ago, a Japanese mother and grandma used a traditional Sewing
box.
It is one of the shapes I have made before.
It cannot be used as a sewing box since it is as small as your palm.
Although the pincushion can actually be inserted with a needle or pin.
(For opening the mechanism, a needle is not necessary!)

 Putting in order tray |
HS-8 |
"This work was designed for an exhibition that theme was ""living"".
This box blends well in your life.
In addition, I hid storing visually so that there was no sense of
incongruity.
It is necessary for you to arrange it in the tray whenever you open it.
The storing part is able to contain the size of one small notebook.

 Wrapping Box |
HS-3 |
This work was designed as a Christmas present for 2009.
There are times when a customer opens the karakuri-box only when given a
hint at the exhibition. The hints are the movements of the parts, or the
sounds when they shake the box for example. What would happen if there were
no such hints available? This box was made from such question.Ｃreated :
