    About the Artist

    The Techniques and Beauty of Kaga Makie

    Lacquer artist Ikki Moroike uses the traditional techniques of Kaga makie to create his artworks. Using the shishiai togidashi technique (combination of burnished and raised makie) and raised makie technique, he creates exquisite and gorgeous lacquerware. His artworks, which are fruits of such high-level techniques, have great lyricism and touch the hearts of those who see them. His work submitted to the Lacquerware Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 1994 was purchased by the Imperial Household Agency, and his proven skills and artistic quality are highly evaluated.

    Style

    I cherish the graceful beauty of Kaga makie, and while carrying on the tradition and techniques, I try to add new ideas and designs to my artwork.
