Japanese Traditional Sense of Beauty
I am especially fond of the culture and old techniques handed down over generations in Japan, and there is always a special place in my heart where our Japanese unique sense of beauty lies.
Lacquerware, a traditional craft product, takes on a vivid brightness and its exquisite beauty grows with the passing of time. In the case of ceramic ware, it also takes years for crazing (surface cracks) to gradually emerge.
A culture to enjoy such “nurturing” of artworks exists in Japan. When I paint, my aim is to instill in my work a full expression of this traditional Japanese sense of beauty.
