Tradition and Innovation of Wajima Lacquerware
Lacquer artist Seiho Mizushiri carries on the tradition of Wajima lacquerware. He uses the chinkin technique, carving patterns with a chisel and applying gold leaf or powder in the carved patterns, and creates delicate and elegant pieces. He is also known for carving patterns on the entire sturdy base unique to Wajima lacquerware. He depicts the raging waves of Noto using platinum and silver, and has established an innovative style with his modern sensibility. His artworks, not only made with extreme precision, but also with excellent designs and structure, have been highly evaluated, and he has received many awards including the Asahi Shimbun Award at the 72nd Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition in 2025.
