Creating this work, the image I had in mind was CITY POP in Tokyo, of Harajuku around the 1980s, and I’ve ended up with a cute, pop, pastel-colored Sonny Angel who looks like an idol wearing a fluffy pompom and a shiny, glittering glass star accessory. But I still felt it needed a little something, so I popped a dubious-looking mushroom on Sonny Angel’s head. The star-shaped decoration on his ear is intended as headgear. It can be removed and used as a pierced earring.

Glassblowing Craftsman & Illustrator
I design my art pieces while envisioning the ephemeral and unique forms of deep-sea organisms and bacteria in deep, lush forests. I like to use borosilicate glass and a method known as lampworking in my works.
I pour my heart into each of my creations in the hopes that they may put a smile on the faces those who come across them, even if just for a moment.
