An item that gives me courage.
What does “Contemporary Life” mean to you?
A life that is convenient due to technological progress, but that is somehow a little difficult to live.
What are the things you are thinking about lately?
Why do I do traditional crafts?
What is the meaning of continuing to do handicrafts, which are not efficient in this day and age?
As I work, I ask myself these questions and think about what only I can do, I am thinking about what I can do to motivate myself and how I can pass it on to the next generation.
