“I want to make leather which is unique to Japan”- is the thought
I had when I began working with indigo dyed leather.
I travelled around various parts of Japan to look for ideal
indigo and leather while discussing the possibilities of combining
the two with experts in these fields.
In the future I would like to continue the study of dyeing
leather in indigo and apply techniques such as stencil
dyeing to discover new approaches to my work.
The origin of “Enku”
I believe that even though we speak a different language all people share
the feeling of surprise and excitement bound together under a borderless sky.
I would like to connect people with that destiny.
The name “Enku” (縁空) is a combination of this destiny (縁- En)
shared by all the people under a wide beautiful sky (空-ku).
