Kodama MATSUMI
Each piece is hand-formed and crafted using the Tatara technique.
Animals with warm and gentle expressions
The animals that appear in these works—dogs, birds, rabbits, and more—are born from the artist's own memories and inner world, shaped by a lifetime spent with beloved animals.
Each creation feels like the beginning of a story, leaving space for the viewer's imagination to wander.

Kodama Matsumi
Each piece is hand-formed and crafted using the Tatara technique.
Animals with warm and gentle expressions
The animals he represents have long been kept as pets, including dogs, birds, and rabbits.
It seems to be in the artist's own mind.
It's a work that stimulates the imagination, as if a story is about to begin.
