Now, I am active as a stamp craftsman mainly around the area of Osaka & Hyogo Provinces. And also, focusing on producing ippo' Originals artworks “by using Original carving stamps to show the three-dimensional images”

I want to say I love it for my favourite things.
I want to present my own self.

When I am thinking like this, I fell in love to Keishigomu-Hanko.

I handcarving it carefully one by one.
It could only be one of a kind, could not be the same for Keshigomu-Hanko.
I addicted to making Keshigomu-Hanko.

What ippo’ producing the handcarving stamps, and Original artworks are

“I make a favourite thing”
“I express my own feeling in each creation”

make them carefully.

I want to say I love it for my favourite things.
I want to present my own self.

It seems very easy, but difficult.
But, after all I want to do it so.

I want to keep continue expressing such a feeling from now on.
