The thoughts of Takumi
I have loved making things since I was a child and thought about becoming a craftsman of some sort when I grew up. By chance, I joined Kyoto Shimazu and was blessed with the opportunity to produce “Sekku” festival dolls, and here I am today. I hope to be of service to many people through the production of Sekku dolls, which symbolize traditional Japanese culture.
