Since more than eight years I’m building handmade Topwater lures. I respect the work of early lure building companies from the US. Their topwater lures are an important influence on my own designs, but I’m constantly rethinking existing concepts to make them answer the needs and demands of Japanese Bass anglers.
I’m drawing my inspiration from objects from my daily life, such as furniture design, classic cars, arts and magazines. With my work I would like to promote the high quality of Japanese handmade lures and to let anglers know about the exciting style of Japanese Topwater fishing.
