Let's start from the beginning–how did you get into fashion?
Since childhood, I’ve always been interested in art, which is why I studied at the Tama Art University. In the beginning, I wasn’t planning on being a shoe or fashion designer, I was only interested in art. Then I tried to put art into something people can actually use, rather than just something to look at; something for people to wear or use everyday. I actually never learned how to make shoes from university or school, so my first shoe was a very interesting and very funny shaped sandal, more like a sock.
