A strange banquet: "Playful lacquerware"

"Yasha Pond"
This exhibition introduces the handiwork of Hikoju Makie, a group of lacquer artisans based in Wajima, which was hit by the double disaster of the earthquake and flood last year. They make use of the individuality and skills of each artisan, further developing and enhancing them as they complete the work. Their work was recognized this year, receiving the Mitsui Golden Takumi Award. Their works, which combine traditional techniques with playful imitation, support the recovery and bring smiles to people's faces.
