Ruten is a Buddhist word.

Ru means “float” and ten means “rolling”.
Combined, the word Ruten speaks of “continual change” or “flux”.

Whenever I work, I work from this viewpoint.
Subject matter, materials and techniques are always changing and I try to include this in my work.
I believe that an individual piece of art is as unique as a person.

When a piece of art is created, there is nothing else like it in existence.
It is unique.
