A Tiny Microcosm Hidden in a Single Color
Edo Komon appears plain from a distance, yet reveals exquisite, microscopic patterns upon closer inspection. Born into a lineage that has produced generations of Holders of Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasures), Yasuyoshi Komiya honed his craft under his father, Yasumasa. Valuing the subtle changes and discoveries gained through facing his daily work with a selfless mind, he creates works with innovative designs unheard of in the Edo period while remaining rooted in tradition. He also participated in the globally acclaimed exhibition fusing Pokémon with traditional crafts. Secretly incorporating diverse motifs into traditional techniques, he has expanded his unique designs beyond classical boundaries. Highly acclaimed for his dedication to exploring the essence of handcraft while opening up new possibilities within a single-colored world, he received the Japan Kōgei Association Incentive Award at the 73rd Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition.
