Masami ISHIZUKA
Nationality: Japan
Course: Shoe Making
Program: Master Course
Period: Sept. 5,2016-Apr. 28,2017
一年ほど前から、思い切ってお仕事を辞め、本場イタリア・フィレンツェに革靴づくりを学びに行くことを決めました。今年の5月より4ヶ月間、語学学校でお世話になりイタリア語で何とか授業を受け始めました。まだまだ分からない事だらけですが、楽しみながら頑張りたいと思っています。
I worked in Japan for about 10 years but my former job had nothing to do with shoe making. I simply liked leather working as a hobby. I used to make small items such as leather wallets on my days off. For this past 2 years, I studied every week at a shoe making school in Kobe, Japan. I totally enjoyed the process of how my idea became actual shoes, so I kept making shoes on weekends even though I was tired from my weekday’s work. It takes a long time to make 1 pair of shoes, but I just love the shoe making process itself.
I quit my job 1 year ago and decided to come to Florence to study shoe making. I took Italian lessons for 4 months from this May, and I am now taking shoe making lessons in Italian. There is so much I need to learn now, but I hope to enjoy this learning experience.

地図の間です。アルメニアの地図の裏には秘密の通路があるそうです。

ダビデの像。とても大きくて迫力一杯でした!

ダンテのマスク。映画「インフェルノ」でも出てきました。

自習の時間に作っていたグッドイヤー製法の靴ができました。

ドゥオモからの景色です。登るのに大変でしたが、頂上からの景色は圧巻です。

知り合いの方から頂いた革で、試しに左足だけ作りました.やや分厚いですが、かっこいい感じに出来上がって大満足です。

角度を変えてみるとこんな感じです。

同じく左足だけサンプルで作りました.こちらは女性用。

同じく角度を変えてみるとこう見えます。
