I make the most of the natural luster of lacquer and finish it using the nuritate technique, a technique to apply a finishing coat of lacquer and allow it to harden without polishing. I then add decorations using gold and silver wires.

I have been interested in planets since my childhood and used the planetary orbit as a motif for this piece.

Techniques

Dry lacquer

For works of dry lacquer (kanshitsu), first a clay form is created and plaster is used to take a mold of the form. Next, repeated layers of hemp cloth and lacquer are applied to the mold until they are built up to the desired thickness. Finally, the mold is removed and additional coats of lacquer are applied to finish the piece. The hemp fibers are strengthened when the lacquer bonds with them, making dry lacquer an excellent technique for creating sturdy forms with a significant degree of freedom.
