Lacquering
Lacquering (kyūshitsu) is the art of applying lacquer to a substrate using spatulas or brushes. The technique includes a range of processes, from reinforcing the substrate with cloth to building up the foundation and applying the middle- and top-coats. The final coat can be left as is (nuritate), polished with charcoal to a high-gloss finish (roiro shiage), or given one of several hundred alternative (kawarinuri) finishes. Lacquer application is known for both its technical difficulty and richly expressive qualities.

Comment on Award
It was a day in late autumn. The sun was setting and the wind started blowing slightly. Then the faint smell of rain began to rise, and gradually the sound of the rain faded away.
I looked back on that moment at dusk and myself somewhat like a poet, and chose this little melancholy theme for my artwork.
On creating my artwork, I am always struggling to combine tradition and avant-garde within the theme, but I will continue to work hard.
