1 — Rule
A short algorithm is written in Python, p5, or Swift. The rule is the spine of the piece: one paragraph of intent, a handful of parameters, and a clear definition of when the work is finished.
Each work begins as a small geometric idea and grows through iteration — a study in how minimal rules, carefully set, can produce forms that feel inevitable. Browse by series, medium, or year.
Filter by series to find a thread of inquiry that speaks to you. Every piece is available as a fine art print, a code edition, or a custom commission for interior, exhibition, and editorial work.
A study of crease patterns. Four nested diamonds collapse into a single point of warm red — the moment a paper fold becomes a horizon.
Sine waves slowed to a near-stillness. Drawn by a pen plotter over six hours, the line learns the room's temperature and the paper's grain.
A sumi ink simulation, run for ten thousand steps. The pool settles into a single nested ellipse — black at the centre, paper at the edge.
A 3×3 grid keyed to the 256 bytes of a single haiku. Red cells mark vowels; the rest is negative space and quiet rule-following.
Five suspended aluminium panels for the central atrium. The red square's position is computed live from the building's daylight sensors.
A 1.8 m panel, the largest in the series. Two red points anchor the composition; everything between them is governed by a single rule.
The work moves through three spaces in our Tokyo studio. Each room has a different rhythm, a different tool, and a different kind of attention.
A short algorithm is written in Python, p5, or Swift. The rule is the spine of the piece: one paragraph of intent, a handful of parameters, and a clear definition of when the work is finished.
The rule is sent to a pen plotter, a screen, a CNC mill, or a 3D printer. We choose the slowest possible tool for the idea — usually paper, ink, or aluminium — and let the medium push back.
Each piece is signed, editioned, and prepared for the wall. We work with framers in Kyoto for paper, and a fabricator in Sumida for metal and acrylic editions.
Every series is documented in the journal — early sketches, failed runs, and the small decisions that shaped the final piece. Or step inside the studio to see where the work is made.
