Artisans
What I observe is merely a small facade of the entirety. I captured these into the best words possible to let the unspeakable unveil to infinity.
Beyond the boundary of words.
Akito Akagi
To categorize whether an action stemming from our emotions is art or craft based on differences in materials, methods of expression, and the presence or absence of functionality is a rather tedious task. Why don’t we consider the purpose that lies beyond that, which is, the meaning of art– not just in terms of personal reasons, but also its societal significance. I personally feel a sense of being rescued by art. Reviving the pieces of emotions that people have discarded or lost, and returning them to society once again. This, I believe, is the reason and meaning behind my creations.

What is the right form? The wheel cannot make so many kinds of forms. It has to be simple. The feeling must be modern. Maybe in the past when people did not think of making things for museums, beauty was a more natural condition.
