RYO WATANABE draws inspiration from his natural surroundings, translating his intuitive observations into masterfully crafted unique objects. These pieces are made from bronze, brass and iron and are meant to be cherished and naturally integrated into the lives of their new owners.

“I want to make something like a stone
Being picked up by someone
Something that you can gently put it in your pocket.
I want to make something like a nut
Being picked up by someone
Something that you can leave it somewhere nice.
Whatever that is standing quietly
Something that you notice when you are walking
I feel that there is a strange resemblance.
Nuts and twigs, pebbles and fallen leaves, or whatever we wonder why they are fallen here
It may be a broken bolt or a piece of something.

I can’t help but stop for a moment and pick them up.
It may be a rainy day, a cloudy day, or a sunny day.
I’m not sure.
However, the scenery, air, color, shape, time, and various things that we can see at that time. I think they combined appeared as a kind of feeling.
And I wish I could create something with such a feeling.”
