After learning the basics in his hometown, Naoki ventures to other parts of Japan to master more design and garnishment skills. Not many SAKAN know how to create their own material from plain earth, but at the same time, not many have the skill of creating designs either. His curiosity and high leveled skills led him to more offers from different projects, including overseas. However he says Awaji has always been the origin of his creativity. “The traditional roofs, landscape with rice fields, the waves I enjoy surfing, the cliff you can see from the shore… what I felt beautiful seems to be reflected somewhere else in my works”.Naoki participated in many projects around the world at places such as the world heritage Arc-et-Senans (France), Châteaudu de Chaumont sur Loire(France), Saltlake City (USA) and more.
You can see more about his work from his website (in Japanese but many pictures).
