The theme of my works:
-something you can enjoy
(I would like to make you happy and enjoyed.)
-Less plastics, being friendly to environment
(When I worked at a garment shop, all of clothes had wrapped plastic for preventing bugs. I felt it is too much. Making too much products makes prices cheeper, then people who work at poor country can't get enough payment. In rich country like Japan, most of them don't mind that. They demand cheeper, cheeper. I'm going to find solutions, I'm trying to get knowledges about how to make products {including about fashion}, which design or system can work for being eco-friendly, which materials are good for the future...)
-something you will love, then you will try to keep your hands longer (at least 2 years)
(We should choose products more serious, when you buy something, you should ask yourself " I really want to buy this?". Buying too much leads to making too much. If we care that more, it can be better.)
