Masayo Fukuda

Masayo Fukuda

My name is Masayo Fukuda but I go by KIRIKEN Masayo. I was born in the 70s, and after graduating from art college in Japan I went to work for a specialized watch repair company. Working as a watch repair craftsman, I became proficient working with the tiniest of tools, screwdrivers and tweezers, and I’m fortunate to have extremely good hand dexterity. From a very young age I have always loved to busy myself with art, drawing, and paper. I’ve been a full-scale cutaway artist for some 25 years now. When I was a high school student I had my first encounter with cutaway art and just gradually become completely charmed and obsessed. My first piece was a birthday message card for a friend; after that family members and friends all wanted a cutaway card of their own, and I was happy to create them!
