“空のまなざし・家のぬくもり” received the Student Encouragement Award at the 58th Japan Enamel Artists Association Exhibition. This work interprets the farewell to a beloved pet as a “journey into the universe,” expressing an art form that gently embraces sorrow. Using the technique of wired cloisonné, I painted cherished memories and designed the piece with a folding structure reminiscent of a screen—allowing viewers to experience it like turning the pages of a picture book. Although it cannot be touched during the exhibition, please take a moment to visit and view it if you are nearby.
