To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing. - Yohji Yamamoto

In order to create an image almost similar to that of a pencil case standing up and walking, I try to eliminate all excess by cutting. I have the feeling that this process (of "cutting off") is linked in some way to "elegance". Elegance and so-called "eliminating excess", or the beauty that remains after excess has beeen eliminated...

I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion. If I can feel those things in works by others, then I like them.

I want to achieve anti-fashion through fashion. That's why I'm always heading in my own direction, in parallel to fashion.
