​ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Yuji was born in Saikai-City, Nagasaki. After working in a large information technology firm in Tokyo for many years, he decided to come back to his hometown because he thought that's the place where he wanted to raise his kids.

 

Yuji started creating things when he was little and kept his enthusiasm through his life no matter at schools or at his work. He loves cooking as well as handcraft creating that he even created his own seasoning.

 

Im 2017, he found a "transparant rasin table" in a shop occasionally. He was very much attracted by it and immediately wanted to have it. However, it was too expensive to afford! Therefore, he began to learn how to make the rasin art by himself.

 

In order to cover the materials cost, he started to sell his crafts on the Internet. He received way more feedback and orders from all over and that's way beyond his expectation. Due to the large quantity of orders, he quit his full-time job and focused on his rasin crafts.

 

The main themes of his works are tropical beaches and oceans. He tries to express the reality of underwater landscapes that he has seen from his hobby, diving, into rasin crafts.

 

He keeps inventing new styles of techniques by himself and also collaborated with other artists to find new methods to apply with new materials.

 

His works became popular gradually in this field and even won several awards as well as lots of compliments from all over.

 

Other than interior decorations and household utensils, he is currently exploring the new possibilities on mixed media art by resin.
