Q: What made you do the art of fruit carving?
A: I came across a watermelon sculpture in "Thai food festival".
I learned the art of fruit carving when Tokyo's hotel held a festival celebrating Thai culture.
Q: When did you master watermelon carving?
Did you have a teacher or did you teach yourself?
A: I mastered the technique in 2001.
I do not have a teacher. I studied by myself.
Q: How long did it take you to be skilled hands?
A: It took me three weeks.
Q: Why do you use watermelons?
Don't you use cantaloupes or grapefruits for instance?
A: Because watermelon is colorful.
So, it attracts us.
And its part we can carve is large.
It is more powerful than other fruits.
Grapefruit is much smaller than watermelon.
