In my small studio in Glasgow, I create an ever-growing collection of handcrafted paper products. The current range includes photo albums, guestbooks, concertinas, planners, blank notebook journals, address and calendar books, and cards for any and all occasions.
Each item is handmade using the finest quality materials sourced from Japan, Germany, and Italy, crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail.
Stylistically, my work is influenced by my Japanese heritage. My designs embody the traditional Japanese "Wabi-Sabi" aesthetic, characterized by simplicity and forms inspired by nature. Kitaken can be described as a unique blend of Japanese tradition with a European twist.
