Tomoka Mishima

In my atelier in Minoh, Osaka, I enshrine amulets from shrines I’ve visited or connected with on my travels. Surrounded by healing elements like natural stones, incense, plants, aromatherapy, and books, the space is filled only with things that soothe the soul.
At times, I quietly meditate to harmonize my surroundings and my mind, cherishing those moments that nurture a sense of comfort.
In this peaceful place, I create each piece with heartfelt inspiration drawn from the stillness around me.
