ABOUT MISATO SANO

Misato Sano is a sculptor based in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. During the region's harsh winters, Misato takes a break from sculpture to focus on her embroidery. She is inspired by the nature of her home and its long history, and is most well known for her sculptures of charismatic and charming dogs. She considers her work to be self-portraits, rendering herself in the form of a dog. 

"For me, using the form of dogs is the most appropriate, highest-resolution method to materialize what I think and my Inner self. Materializing myself in various states is about having an honest, direct dialogue with myself. In facing myself, I would like to be passionate, free, and loving, like a dog. My works are also about myself looking at myself. In that sense, I might have been making an existence that is sometimes beside myself, a little distance in other times, watching over myself."
