Works with * were not presented in this exhibition.

When it comes to objets, I would think that multiples are more adequate than a single production. Therefore, I created my favorite objets as multiple production starting with “Okurimono”. Especially “Giveaway Objet” would be the one I on which consciously focus most as a multiple.

“Giveaway Objet” is different from other works since it looks like a low-cost mass production, but it also represents humor and ideality.

If “Giveaway Objet” stands for one side of my multiple work, “Okurimono” is the other side of it. Other multiple works which I created / produced after “Okurimono” and “Giveaway Objet” would then bridge the gap between these two.
