Explanation of work（MOMO）
In the Japanese prefecture of Yamanashi, there is a legend of a mountain-building giant called the Daidara-bocchi. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Yamanashi is home to many Daidara-bocchi, some of whom must have been very young.
1984: Born in Yamanashi Prefecture.
2010: Completed a Masters degree in sculpture at Tokyo University of Arts. Produces woodcarvings under his real name Naohiro OKAMOTO.
2019: Begins carving netsuke under the name MOMO.
MOMO works as both a peach farmer and sculpture artist. The current exhibition is his first as a netsuke artist. We look forward to his future activity.
