Techniques Used

Maki-e

Maki-e (literally “sprinkled pictures”) is a representative lacquerware technique that originated in Japan around 1,200 years ago. Maki-e is done by painting lacquer motifs on the surface of a piece using a fine brush and then sprinkling gold powder onto the lacquer before it hardens, producing luxurious decorations.

Awards received

  • The 56th Toyama Traditional Kōgei Exhibition (2017)
  • Japan Kōgei Association Toyama Branch Award

Comment on Award

I drew the sight of the Tateyama Mountain Range that the people in Toyama see every day using Johana makie. The knob on the lid is the sun and moon, and the inside is finished with the image of snowflakes in decorative silver painting. The deep jet black color makes the white stand out, and although nothing is drawn, you can imagine that the sky and water is there. I expressed such quietness and beauty within the blank space. I am thankful for the beautiful nature in Toyama and I will continue to make further efforts going forward.
