A compass is considered to bring good luck
because it allows people to gather.
I made this piece by creating Saikiko around the compass.
羅針盤(コンパス)は幸運をもたらすと考えられている。
とされています。
この作品は、羅針盤を中心に漆、真鍮、京都オパールを素材とした私独自の技法「彩輝光」の技術で制作したものです。
Kenji Omachi is highly skilled in traditional lacquer techniques such as Maki-e. In his search for new expressions, he discovered and fell in love with Kyoto Opal, an artificial gemstone developed by KYOCERA.
He remains a pioneer in inlaying this new material, which is used in the same way as inlaid mother-of-pearl.
He decided to use the synthetic Kyoto Opal instead of natural materials, such as mother-of-pearl or egg shells, and found it created an unexpected effect.
Normally, inlaid mother-of-pearl sparkles from only one direction, but when he used Kyoto Opal, it sparkled from various angles.
By integrating this new material, Kyoto Opal, he devised a new lacquerware technique he called Saikiko (“colored luminescence”).
