About

Over 30 years ago, I discovered the Buddha Dharma, and it changed my life. It continues to inspire me every day.

I trained as a master carpenter, which is the foundation of my work. Later, good friends I worked with for many years introduced me to a new world—art and design. Craftsmanship, art, and spirituality have become an important part of who I am and what I create. Nature, too, has always been a source of inspiration and energy for me.

One day, my Buddhist teacher said,
“Why not bring Buddhism into your work?”

This is how the Buddha Ring was born. Each ring, along with the driftwood I use, is shaped by hand in my workshop with all my skill and care as a master carpenter. For me, the process is like meditation. It requires stillness to create every detail with precision.

When that stillness is there, the work flows, and I feel a sense of peace. Once the ring is finished, it radiates that same energy.

Let it inspire you and bring you a sense of calm.
