shinya mumbled one day... "you know, there are many fabricators out there who are so skillful and do a great job. i mean those guys who do welding, cutting and everything so perfectly, smoothly, so bilaterally symmetrically. i respect them so much...geez what i do is so much contrastive from them. somehow i like asymmetrical shapes and leaving footmarks on the things i make. well, i'm not a machine i don't have to be so perfect. i'll keep making well-thumbed things, yap..." i was amazed to know that skillful guy like him still thinks that way...
