Born in Sendai (Japan) in 1996 and raised in Calgary (Canada), Sota Mori is a luthier, artist, and garment maker. Sota apprenticed under Sigmund Johannessen and taught at the Summit School of Guitar Building and Repair on Vancouver Island. At Summit, Sota was introduced to a method developed by Johannessen, Mike Jarvis and Arlen Pelletier, formed from the notions of traditional and modern methods of instrument building and repair, that emphasized integrating art, design and culture. These theories, merged with the contemporary zeitgeist, make up Sota’s interdisciplinary practice today.
