I made this piece based on a theme of ephemeral scattering cherry blossoms that express the direction of the wind, as the flower blossoms that dance above me brighten my heart with the sparkle and prayers of life.
Relief is used to express the light and cherry blossoms, while the inlaid mother of pearl and the black lacquer emphasize the deep beaty and transparency of the wind.
光と水に包まれて育まれる生命。儚くも散り行く桜の花びらを通して生命の循環を表わしている。レリーフで表現した光を指す金色が赤く染まり、水の表現は奥深く美しい漆黒に宇宙のような果てしない空間の広がりを螺鈿で強調した。
My artwork starts from the feelings I get when I experience nature.
I experienced Zen meditation in my search for spirituality, and one time I felt a brilliant light flowing down on me as if it had been released from the body of Buddha.
As the light overcame me and I sought that light, I saw my own trivial existence in nature. That is what inspired me to create artwork that represents light and water flowing down from heaven and the cycle of life that unfolds there.
Lacquer can be used in both 2D and 3D artwork.
The blackness that is characteristic of lacquer brings out the best of materials such as shells and metals as they work to complement each other.
I continue to be drawn to the deep appeal of lacquerware as I continue to create my artwork today.
