About the Artist

Beautiful Lacquerware Made with the Spirit of Tradition

Lacquer artist Soichiro Nakamuro creates his artwork in Wajima where the spirit of tradition lives on. Using makie techniques, he captures a moment of a scene in nature and makes designs with movement. His lacquerware with delicate makie techniques and modern sensibility combined, are highly evaluated, and he received the Incentive Award / Wajima Museum of Urushi Art Award at the 39th Lacquerware Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2022. With his skills and sensitivity nurtured in a rich natural environment, he pursues the new charms and possibilities of lacquer art.
