Craft cannot be discussed without considering the materials.Iron and copper, through human wisdom and skill, have proven to enrich our lives.In today's social environment, shaped by diversifying lifestyles and material civilization, the necessity for crafts may seem diminished.However, a "new relationship between objects and people" must be created through the harmony of these materials and forms.Industrialized society has sought to strip away the richness of people's spiritual lives.I believe we must not lose our universal ethnic sensibilities in exchange for civilization.
