About the Artist
Woodwork Made by Hollowing with Wiped Urushi Finish
Woodwork artist Mikiko Togasaka learned wood hollowing and joinery techniques at the Rare Traditional Crafts Woodworking School in Kanazawa City. She creates forms freely by carving the wood carefully with a gouge. Her artworks finished with wiped urushi have a deep luster while at the same time, the natural beautiful wood grains stand out. With her delicate techniques of releasing and hollowing out the forms that were hidden within the wood and adding luster that will deepen over time on the wood surface, her artworks create a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
