Message from Makoto Susa sensei
For this piece, inspired by the theme of the sea and waves, I created a new work using my original technique, Applied Tin, which I felt perfectly suited the concept. Applied Tin involves melting tin and carefully building it up to create raised forms, allowing me to express the movement of waves. Additionally, with the night in mind, I inlaid the moon using brass. By intentionally not fully embedding the brass, I was able to create the subtle curvature of the moon. The shape of the vase is slightly traditional, evoking a sense of timelessness.

In my work, I use traditional metal hammering (tsuiki) techniques combined with my own sensibility to create pieces that are stylish, fun, cute, and comforting. Even for works or products with the same design, I slightly alter each one to make it a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
