Hi, I am Jing of Jing Creations SG and Just Kidding SG. I picked up Tsumami Zaiku during Singapore’s Circuit Breaker. The craft has since become my life passion.


Reasons you applied the teacher's certification

「遠い過去と遠い未来をつなげるため」

"To link the far past, with the far future"

This line from the manga ヒカルの碁 (Hikaru no Go) left a deep lasting impression on me since 20 years ago when I first read it.

Initially, I signed up for the school lessons to improve my skills because I struggled so much on my own. I decided to work towards the teacher’s certification to attest that I learnt from established professionals in the craft and successfully completed formal training process. I believe that this credibility will be a great asset towards conducting classes and workshops in Singapore.

The traditional techniques of Tsumami Zaiku are important because they hold the foundation essence of the craft and has transcend through the ages to still be relevant today. Combined together with the many creative modern techniques developed, there is no limit to the craft’s possibilities and future.

Through Tsumami Zaiku, I have finally found my life purpose to link the far past with the far future.
