Yukiko Nakazawa

I live in Yokohama, a city close to the sea where traces of nature still remain.
The motifs in my work are familiar things such as plants, birds, and keys.
Each piece is carefully cut out using only a pair of scissors.
With great attention to detail, I strive to create works that are graceful, intricate, and bring a sense of comfort to those who see them.

Got Questions?

Are all your artworks handmade?

Do you ship worldwide?

Our master artisans, under the supervision of Hina Aoyama, meticulously craft every artwork and lamp, and we take great care to guarantee their safe delivery to your doorstep, no matter where you are.
