Geometric Embroidery + Sumi Ink History of the original idea
After studying textile art in France, I have been exploring a new relationship between space and art by providing my works to the entertainment industry and commercial spaces in Japan. Through a process of trial and error, he arrived at a unique technique of expression called “geometric embroidery + sumi ink art,” which expresses the inner universe using geometric embroidery and sumi ink. The essence of textile art lies in the fluidization of ideas that transcend form and shape through the accumulation of lines of thread. However, the origin of my creation lies in a deeper spirituality and an insight into and reverence for the natural world. As a painter, I often go to the forest for interviews, and while observing the natural world, I repeatedly encounter geometric patterns that I call “fractals. Tree branches, leaf veins, ore crystals, ripples and wind currents–they all indicate universal rhythms that exist in the universe. Currently, I am strongly interested in “cymatics” (sound vibration science), in which sound frequencies form geometric patterns, and I am exploring how to incorporate this into my work. Sound is an invisible entity, but it has the power to create shapes through vibration. When it comes to my work, I always choose materials that are close to nature. Inspired by Japanese painting techniques, I use sumi ink, mineral pigments , and gold leaf for coloring, and place black, white, gold, silver, and vermilion colors to create my works. My art is not only about physical decoration, but I hope it will resonate deep within the viewer’s heart and awaken the inner universe.
Do flowers bloom from order, or do they emerge from chaos? Guided by this question, I let my impulses lead—dropping threads, stitching freely, layering handmade washi sequins to give form and depth to The Strange Flowers.
Gold and silver echo light and shadow; black holds silence and depth; red pulses with the heat of life. As chance and intention intertwine, it felt as though the flowers themselves willed their own blooming onto the cloth.
The forest endlessly cycles through life and death—branches fall, new buds emerge, and every being breathes in rhythm with the earth. All things vibrate, existing as frequencies. Life itself is energy in motion, resonating across countless wavelengths. Geometric embroidery becomes a visualization of these invisible waves, embodying the primal rhythm of life. The Forest of Samsara portrays the quiet beauty of reincarnation and the eternal flow of living energy.
The origin of life lies within the vast expanse of the cosmos. The very elements that compose meteorites are the same as those that form our bodies. Life itself is a drop spilled from the universe—sustained by the energy that continuously rains down from the stars.
In this work, the artist visualizes the connection between the energy of the universe and life through geometric embroidery using gold, silver, and black threads, followed by ink and gold leaf. Two mirror-like compositions are inverted and combined into one unified work. This duality symbolizes the harmony of opposing forces, each reflecting and resonating with the other, creating an underlying order.
Title:『 妖花と朝蜘蛛』 『Enchanted Blossoms and the Morning Spider』
This work captures the delicate beauty of nature and the raw impulse of life. The burning bloom symbolizes existence swaying between creation and destruction, life and death—its colors holding both warmth and flame.
As morning light seeps in, the spider disappears, leaving only its web behind. This quiet absence speaks to the space between presence and nonexistence, reminding us that what sustains the world may often be invisible.
