Comment on Receiving the Award
I am deeply honored to receive such an award in Kyoto, a place with such a long history and culture.
ALISA was started with the desire to deliver the techniques and artistry of Japanese craftsmen to more people and to the world in a way that fits the current era. I am truly grateful that our challenge has been recognized in this way.
Although it is still a small endeavor, I hope to work together with Japan's wonderful creators as "One Japan," uniting with everyone in Japan to share our vision with the world.
