​Tsumami work Asagiri

I have loved handicrafts since I was a child and enjoyed crafts and cake making.

​

After getting married and having a child, my passion for handmade products returned, and I started working as a handmade artist in Fukuoka when my daughter was in kindergarten.

​

Our eco-craft works have been featured in books, local TV, and free newspapers.

​

After that, due to a family transfer, I moved my base of activities to Tokyo!

​

I gained many qualifications in skills such as handmade bread and cakes, knitting, and preserved flowers, and started teaching classes.

​

Starting in September 2014, I will be holding classes in a log house that my family built over the course of about a year.

​

Currently, I discovered tsumami-zaiku after making hair ornaments for my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.

 

Since then, we have mainly produced hair ornaments for coming-of-age ceremonies, Shichi-Go-San ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc.

 

At home classes where even beginners can make hair ornaments for special occasions, making hair ornaments to match kimonos is popular.

 

I studied under one of the few tsumami craftsmen in Japan and am working hard every day.
