English	The excellence of chopsticks, which have nine functions such as pinching, mixing, picking, and carrying, and the traditional technique of Wakasa-lacquered chopsticks (mother-of-pearl) made using abalone shells and lacquer, inspired by the ocean floor of the Wakasa region. ) is expressed using typography inspired by hieroglyphs and photos of various ingredients and chopsticks. The photo at the bottom of the background is a close-up of the Wakasa lacquered chopsticks "Raden". Using symmetrical compositions that resemble mystical mandala, I have created an innovative and modern worldview.
Native	挟む、混ぜる、摘む、運ぶ、切る、剥がす，解すなど、世界でも稀な9つのもの機能を持つ箸というカトラリーとしての秀逸さと、江戸時代前期に、福井県若狭地方の海底をイメージして、アワビの貝殻や漆を使って作られた若狭塗り箸の伝統技法（螺鈿）の美しさを、象形文字からインスパイアされたタイポグラフィと、蕎麦、納豆、焼き魚、手銛寿司、豆など、さまざまな食材と箸の写真を使って表現しました。 若狭湾の海底をイメージさせるために、背景には若狭塗り箸”螺鈿”をクローズアップした写真を配置しました。 神秘的な曼荼羅の様なシンメトリックな構図を使いながら、私はとてもイノベーティブでモダンな世界観を醸成するこに成功しました。
