[Profile]
Born in Ueda City, Nagano in 1973. He has been interested in making guitars since he was a college student, and learned how to make guitars from Sakae Ishii, another guitar maker in Nagano, when he was 20 years old. Later, in 2001, he attended a workshop with Jose Luis Romanillos in Sigüenza, Spain, and received instruction from him. Later, in 2001, he attended a workshop with Jose Luis Romanillos in Sigüenza, Spain, and received instruction from him. At that time, he also received a lot of advice from Gerhard Oldiges, who was there as Romanillos' assistant. At that time, he was inspired by their attitude of making guitars using traditional methods and was convinced of the direction he should take. After returning to Japan, he started making guitars in earnest and continues to produce them using traditional Spanish methods.
His instruments, whether original or replica models, consistently have a soft, full sound and a rustic tone that evokes the feel of wood, and have been gaining more and more recognition and popularity in recent years.

[Description]
This Bouchet model was initially made as an order-made custom model in response to customer requests, but has now become a regular standard model for this brand. He has studied the 1973 Robert Bouchet original in detail and has focused on reproducing its characteristics. This model is designed to be close to the style of Bouchet's last years.
The maker, who claims that the attractiveness of Bouchet is nothing other than its tone, has projected his own tone preferences onto it to create a unique and distinctive Bouchet model.
The mellow resonance coming from the lightweight body has a solid core at the same time. The neck is thin and stress-free to play. The entire surface is finished with shellac.
