About the Artist
Bringing a New Breeze into Kagawa Lacquerware
Lacquerware artist Michiyo Kitaoka received the Japan Kōgei Association New Artist Award at the 70th Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2023. Her specialty is kinma, which is a technique where color lacquer is applied in the carved dots and lines and is polished afterwards to make the patterns. She uses natural scenery that she has seen herself as motifs of her designs. Those who see her lacquerware using vivid colors with delicate, yet adventurous designs, are drawn into the world of her artwork. Her artwork using traditional techniques but with a free approach is gaining more and more attention.
