Confections by Okashimaru | Sayoko Sugiyama, Shu Fujita, Takeru Koroda | Torch press 2024

"Through sophisticated compositions, these confections give shape to what is impossible to represent, in this sense, Okashimaru’s confectionary is precisely wagashi. However, if these confections, made with the intention of being “something that crumbles,” convey that conceptual ideas, and by extension, natural phenomena, are eternal, then Okashimaru may have created a kind of wagashi that has never existed before." - Shu Fujita
