I wanted to use a metal sword to express the spirit of prayer, strength,and beauty concealed in people.
The sword confronts the viewer as a representation of a penetrating shape.
The power of an Amagatsu doll to ward off evil is infused in the sword.
The white color of the sword indicates the presence of a god, nature, or something else that exceeds human wisdom.
The name is the Sword of Amagatsu: Tengeiken.

人が秘める祈りの精神、力、美しさを金属の剣に込めた。
透徹した異形の形代として人と対峙する‐
厄を祓う形代"あまがつ"としての力を剣に込めて。 
その白に神、自然、人知を越える何かを宿した剣としての意味も重ね合わせて。-荘子の天倪-
天倪剣"アマカツノツルギ.テンゲイケン"と名づける。

Shogo Okamoto was born as the eldest son of Shoho Menya, the 14th Mensho Kyoto doll artist in a lineage of doll artists that has continued since the Hoei Era (1704 to 1710) of the Edo Period. Traditionally, dolls are alternate forms of sacred existences. They purify the space in which they are displayed and are made with medicinal herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine so that they can be cherished more dearly.
He also uses the technique of gofun (white pigment), an essential part of doll-making, to create new works of art.
He is also involved in the creation of new works of art.A technique called 'wiping' is used to give the gofun a sheen.The surface of the gofun is rubbed and polished with various objects to make it shiny. He believes that by doing so, the invisible rays of light emitted by the white surface purge it of evil spirits.
