His father is a well-known folk artist named Liu Zongyue laying "Japanese folk art" theoretical and aesthetic bases, so he was influenced by Japanese traditional folk craft objects’beauty since childhood; he also served as the assistant of the leading designer in the field of western modernism Charlotte Perriand(Perriand’s works include several joint designed sofas，lounge chairs and chairs that have become classic symbols of modernism with Corbusier ). Graduated from the Art Institute of Japan (now is the Tokyo National University of Art Music), he has studied in Junzo Sakakura Department of Architecture.
