Kyohei Noguchi

Kyohei Noguchi started carving jade/pounamu in the Westcoast in early 2017 under the guidance of Ric Moor & has loved it ever since. 

Born in Tokyo in 1999 & moved to New Zealand at the age of 3 months, he has grown up in Nelson for most of his life. Growing up his father being a bone carver, Kyohei has always been fascinated in the processes of carving & creating art.
