Stand aloof

The white and green are shined vividly in azure blue ! This scene wrap warmly heart of all people by their brightness. But there - in the dark night, a solitary narcissus stand near water surface silently. This scene wash all emotion - sadness, loneliness and anger, even joyful. What remained is only silent shined by moonlight. Beautiful. Certainly, "Maki-e" is most suitable to express this delicate and complex beauty.




Missionary of beauty

"Hira Maki-e" is relatively simple and standard technique. But of course, the procedure is very delicate. First, paint Urushi on the pen some times. Second, they draw picture by "Iro (color) Urushi" or "Ki (transparent) Urushi ". After this, gold powder are been sowing on the picture. After this procedure, paint Urushi on the picture again and polished. So, the surface become plain (Hira). In these process, little difference become big difference. Adding beauty of picture, mysterious transparency that only Urushi have can't be expressed by language. However Urushi have advantage as writing tool. Good touch. Melting into hand !
