Techniques Used
Kinma
There are three basic variations of kinma based on the method used for cutting the motifs: line cutting, dot cutting, and a combination of the two. All three types use a special carving blade known as a kinma ken. Originally, kinma only consisted of motifs made of incised lines. However, by combining a variety of colored lacquers and cutting techniques, the art has lent itself to increasingly complex designs.

Comment on Award
This year's summer was very hot, and we were unable to feel the signs of autumn for quite a long time. I remember running around under the refreshing autumn sky when I was a child. With such a feeling of nostalgia and longing for the changing seasons, I used a memory of my childhood days as the motif of the design. I expressed the light and wind with the shining metal powder on the white lacquer, and the autumn sunset with the yellow and blue colored lacquer towards the rim.
I am very honored to receive this award. I would like to continue to form the impressions that my heart feels on making my artwork.
