I make frogs with the pattern of a carp.
If the red spot is in the shape of a heart, the frog is in love.
Throughout its history, Japanese culture has personified things that cannot be seen.
Examples include ghosts and Kappa (water spirits) in stories, and these seem to have lead to modern Anime.
If the goal was just to create a simple form, it would be faster to create a mold and make a plaster or ceramic doll.
I use methods that require a lot of time and care because I want the work to look like it’s alive, to make unusual creatures that look like they are about to leap at any time.
鯉の模様をした、カエル…。
赤い模様がハートマークなら、そのカエルは恋してる。
日本は昔から目に見えないものを擬人化してきた文化がある。
例えばお化けとか、小説のなかの河童とか、それが現在はアニメに繋がっているように感じる。
単に形を作るのなら型取りをし石膏や陶人形にすれば早いのだが、あえて手間暇のかかる作り方を選ぶのは、本当に生きていそうで、今にも飛び跳ねそうな奇妙な物が生まれるからだ。

Shogo Okamoto was born as the eldest son of Shoho Menya, the 14th Mensho Kyoto doll artist in a lineage of doll artists that has continued since the Hoei Era (1704 to 1710) of the Edo Period. Traditionally, dolls are alternate forms of sacred existences. They purify the space in which they are displayed and are made with medicinal herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine so that they can be cherished more dearly.
He also uses the technique of gofun (white pigment), an essential part of doll-making, to create new works of art.
He is also involved in the creation of new works of art.A technique called 'wiping' is used to give the gofun a sheen.The surface of the gofun is rubbed and polished with various objects to make it shiny. He believes that by doing so, the invisible rays of light emitted by the white surface purge it of evil spirits.
