I create one-of-a-kind works tailored to your wishes.
Where would you like to display these wire art alive with
spirit?
Thank you for your interest in my artworks.
I, Manabu Masuda, use only one single wire per piece and depict spirit. If you have a motif in mind—something you would like to display in a special place or gift to someone—I will listen carefully to your wishes and propose a design. Although motifs are limited to living beings such as people, animals, or plants (orders for inanimate objects such as cars or buildings cannot be taken), I will do my best to accommodate your wishes. Please feel free to fill out the form at the bottom of this page and contact me for a consultation.

Actual order examples
Fountain of Spring
Size: 750 × 550 mm
Displayed at: home
This order came from an appreciator of my works for many years. She requested a piece similar to those exhibited at my solo exhibitions, but especially with the subject facing forward, full of spirits, and surrounded by lush vegetation. The artwork was then created to fit the wall size of her home.
I am delighted that she has chosen to display a work that embodies the same concept as the ones presented at my solo exhibitions.
Shabutsu(wire Buddhist images) ~ Maitreya Bodhisattva ~
Size: 700×250mm
Displayed at: home
This was an order from a person who chose “Shabutsu” from among the motifs I generally draw. Since the client especially favored “Maitreya Bodhisattva”, I created this piece upon his request even if I had never attempted before. The days I spent creating “Maitreya Bodhisattva” were a blissful time for me as well.
Portrait
~ Soccer Players ~
Size: ①1,050×800mm ②320×260mm
Purpose: Gift
Animal drawing
Size: Postcard size
Purpose: For home or as a gift
This is a new custom size I have recently started offering. Over the years, I have created many animal artworks, and now I can capture them in a compact postcard format. I would be happy to create a portrait of your beloved dog, cat, or other animal.
To begin, simply send me a photo, and then I will create a rough sketch in pencil. I will provide you with a work that meets your wish at an affordable price.
Unlike paintings, my works have transparent backgrounds. Therefore, when illuminated, they cast shadows as if they were painted directly on the wall. When displayed near windows or open ceilings, the sky, sea, or forest visible in the background can become part of the work. Please experience this unique work for yourself or someone you want to share the feeling with.
I look forward to hearing from you.
