With such an established and long running career, it is no surprise that whilst most of the world was in lockdown in 2020, Mitusmoto was busy delivering a large scale series of commissioned pieces for Yokohama's new Hyatt Regency.
Unified by his signature motifs and mastery, the artist uses the traditional techniques of hammering (鍛金 tankin) and chasing (彫金chōkin) with gold and silver foil to express the unique Japanese perception of, and sensitivity to, Nature.
