12 years have passed since I entered this profession.
And I think that I have got in the sphere of "Ha", in "Shu Ha RI"*.
As I seek, in crystal glasses, for a new aspect which I have never seen, I carry on the torch. Nursing, selecting the tradition and tack a fresh look on to it.
This way, I face the crystal glass.
Without being shackleing by the existent frame of arts and crafts, I would like to execute works with my own expression.

"Shu Ha Ri": three strategy of learning mastery, the fundamentals, breaking with tradition and parting with traditional wisdom.
