I'm a jewellery designer based in London. Born in Japan: following art college, I worked for a decade as a contract designer to fashion jewellery manufacturers.
After moving to London I began creating jewellery according to my own style and taste.

Jewellery to remind you of earlier epoques. You recall... sometime, somewhere... you saw, or touched, or maybe wore these. You know that your spirit seems to realise this. --------
I have always been drawn to something historical. Images from an ancient time speak to me. And stones, beads, all those materials are waiting to be discovered and to be made into something through which they can recall their memories. Reminiscences of earth, civilization, epoque, human beings...

My jewellery often resembles objects made from gold... but this is not the case. I use polymer clay to combining with semi-precious stones, fused glass pieces, Czech crystal stones etc... Then I decorate with metallic (gold or silver) mica powder. This technique allows me to explore many possibilities in design and form to create gorgeous jewellery without being 'emperor/empress' of the contemporary world .

I supply my work to galleries and shops, mainly in south-west London, and in Tokyo.

I launched my new website which covers my jewellery as well as photography. The link is on right side web-information.




Also... I must confess... I am a " Museumholic". Because I tend to collect objects, museums is "my home" and "my place of worship".



After nearly 2years with Flickr, I have developed a large selection of museum images, and I have decided to attribute "Non-Commercial-Creative-Common". So, please feel free to use my museum images for non-commercial and/or educational purposes. But please remember, museums themselves have their own image-rights for every article they possess. Therefore for commercial purposes, please contact the museum for permission to use them.
I hope you enjoy my images ; )
