INTERESTS

When it snows in Tokyo, trains and people stop moving, and time slows down. Urban functions become sluggish, and work is not always easy. At such times, I settle down at home, sit in a chair and look at the sky. We take a short break and celebrate the special day. I’m interested in having a flat view of the physical scale event, such as cooking with a frying pan and the extremely large-scale event such as cumulonimbus clouds forming in the blue sky. And I want to design how to connect the human life and the phenomenon of “more-than-human beings” like nature, industry, ecosystem linkages etc.
