Mizuha

“Mizuha” is an artwork born from the desire to be with the water deity.
This piece is based on Toto Akihiko’s ideas about how karakami is made hand in hand with all the gods and spirits, together igniting the energy from the ripples. 

In this karakami piece lies the story about the tortoise, a messenger for the gods who takes people’s prayers and flies into the sky to become a dragon, fulfilling the prayers while keeping watch over world peace.
