I see design as a "vehicle that moves culture."
Design can present ways of living. Most importantly, design exists through mutual consent and dependence. It requires both a creator and an audience, meaning emerges only within that relationship. That is why my goal is to create designs that resonate with people and inspire action.
What kind of design brings about change in society and culture? It is the kind that moves people's hearts, makes them think, and has the power to transform the world for the better. I want to continue creating such impactful designs

Design: Kokikin DESCRIPTION
History of Samurai is a poster series that traces the historical evolution of the samurai through carefully sourced ukiyo-e prints available in open digital archives. Each poster incorporates imagery exclusively from the specific historical period it represents, reinforcing accuracy and temporal continuity through visual material. By translating archival prints into contemporary graphic composition—and extending the series onto fabric—the project bridges historical documentation with present-day display. The work reflects on how cultural memory can be preserved, reinterpreted, and circulated through design.
