I had living experiences in U.K. when I was small. As my father, a cultural anthropologist, studied at Cambridge University to submit a doctoral thesis, my family spent some years there. Since then, I have visited Europe from time to time to travel around, being enchanted by its history, nature and the people. So, I decided to participate in a wood architectural program at Helsinki University after I had graduated from Musashino Art University. For me, 'Architecture is a form of art’ which is strongly associated with cultural heritages. It also protects us from any danger which may harm us. A comfortable, pleasant space with refreshing breeze, is the space which I really want to create.
