Seido Kino

KINO Seido was Born in 1978 in Nagoya, Japan. He graduated from the Faculty of Engineering of Kyoto University. His work is based on the idea that things happen at the ‘contact points’ between people, things, places, time, and thoughts, and that it is the interaction among these that gives us awareness. He explores what makes Japan what it is, focusing on how its people tackle the challenges the country faces.
