My hand is the extension of the thinking process - the creative process.

Japanese architecture is traditionally based on wooden structures that need renovating on a regular basis.

Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.

You always want to try to make something new, and, of course, America is the world leader in economics today.

I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.

I hope America can also be the cultural leader of the world, and use this frontier spirit to lead and show others that we need courage to go places where we have not gone before.

Without this spirit, Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to reconcile the two.
