“The reason why I make pottery is that I have something like a hole in my heart. In order to fill that hole, I just keep on making. I am not good at socializing by nature, but I can connect to people by making works. My vessels are the expression of myself, and at the same time, it is indispensable for me in order to relate to peole.”
