About the Artist
Blending Traditional Techniques Into Artwork
Metalwork artist Kosei Fujikawa received the Japan Kōgei Association New Artist Award at the 71st Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition. Fujikawa learned techniques in places where traditional metalwork techniques have been passed down for generations. He learned Higo inlay in Kumamoto, Kaga inlay in Ishikawa, decorative metal work (hammering and decorating with engravings and inlays) in Kyoto and Tokyo silversmithery in Tokyo. He creates his artwork by combining these techniques. Backed by the fact of being awarded at the Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition, his artwork with finely detailed decorations is gathering attention in Japan and overseas.
