"Tanpopo"
An embroidered textile drawn from a dandelion. It was designed after Akira Minagowa taveled to Finland's Fiscaras and saw a fluffy dandelion group. The stand color gradually rises from the décolletage line, the round slit put in the hem brings a soft rhythm to the simple A Line dress.

"Bird Boat"
Based on birds drifting quietly on the surface of the water, painted in pile jacquard in fresh linens. I arranged the bird shape like a small boat anchored in the harbor where morning fog can be found like a lattice patter. I was trying to pursue expressions between abstraction and concrete.
