Across the boundary and capturing the Beauty
In Yamanaka Onsen, Kaga City, where a region of lacquer ware, there is a processed material made from wood called “Arabiki”. This is the original “bowl material” used to carve out bowls of various designs. I was fascinated by that the pre-design shape of becoming a “tool.” I then created a “reproduction” of the shape created by the wood, replacing it with Kutani ware. It is more primitive, before it became a tool, and it feels solid and comfortable in your hand.
