  • Hagi [no.17001]
    Price: US$1,700

    Price: US$1,700
    We described "Hagi (bush clover)" by the "Yako Maki-e" technique. This motif has many bowstrings so that the contrast of this motif's edge of the line has also so many. This picture is taken after 1 month from the production. You can see the color slightly changed to red from the edge. As same as "Tame-sukashi" technique, the background in "shu" (red) becomes brighter as time passes. In case of Yako nuri technique, the main motif (bush clover) is heaped up by black Urushi, so this motif shines clearly with bright Shu color as background.

  • Wild strawberry　[no.17002]
    Price: US$3,200

    Price: US$3,200
    Based on Yakou Maki-e technique, we lay out several seashells (Raden). Though we used many pieces of big shells in abundance and looks gorgeous,,this artwork settled down the background kept the entire settled balance by Tame-nuri background. Seashells are abalone. We pasted colored Urushi on the backside of shells and put Maki-e over the shells. The flowers make the design that exist in Wedgewood's table ware motif, Veins of a leaf, the strawberry's seed, and the stamen and the pistil of the flower are written by gold after pasting shelss and hardened with Urushi. The whole wll lighten with the passage at years as well as other works and the motif becomes more vivid.

  • Byakudan-Nuri with Yakou Maki-e "Akitsu-shima"　[no.17003]
    Price: US$1,800

    Price: US$1,800
    Byakudan-Nuri (painting technique) is after painting by black urushi lacquer ware, craftsmen paint shu-ai urushi thinly over it. Then a craftsman sprinkles silver Keshi-fun (smallest size powder made from gold or silver foil) and paint shu-ai urushi once more. Then we polish in detail to make a smooth surface to do Maki-e. On this surface, a craftsmen describe many dragonflies and polished up as final process. Because we drew dragonflies by black urushi, we introduced this work as Yakou-Maki-e corner. When we watch this work in the vicinity, we image innumerably flying dragonflies are shined by twilight. Although many dragonfliies dance as one pattern, we can feel each one flies in different blightness."Akitsu" is old name of dragonflies, "Akitsu-shima (shima means island) " means Yamato-no-kuni (Japan). (Quite few people knows this things.) As we explain above. Yakou Maki-e based on Byakudan-nuri this time is brighter than tame-nuri base so far, also the reflected light that swings slightly by the hit condition of light is beautiful , these factors are good conbination of Byakudan and Yakou Maki-e.

    The motif like reief which sinks in the black Tamenuri comes to the surface astimepasses. If the motif has many lines , the contrast of the motif's edge of the line has many, so that the motives like the "bowstring" ,the "sailer" and the "spider (and web)" will be interesting. In above pictures,the 3rd one and the 4th one show the difference of time passing. The left side is the barrel which has passed and the right side is the barrel which has just finished painting.
