“Mikaerunu Bijin” (literally, The Beauty Who Doesn’t Look Back) plays on the traditional phrase Mikaeri Bijin—a classic image of a beautiful woman glancing over her shoulder. This piece spins a whimsical what-if tale about a Hakata doll, passed down as a cherished gift through time. Its patterns layer like patchwork—each stitch a thread of memory—blending past and present into one. With its asymmetrical design, the work gently holds stillness and strength in balance, tradition and transformation in quiet conversation.
