The Pleasures of Makie
An exhibition of lacquerwork by Hikoju Makie, the true lacquer workshop headed by Takashi Wakamiya.
Tokyo, Shinjuku Isetan 5th Floor, Center Park, Stage Five
Wednesday June 19th to Tuesday June 25th
Takashi Wakamiya will be at the gallery every day during the exhibition.
On Saturday 22nd June from 2 o’clock he will give a talk lasting about 30 minutes on The Pleasures of Makie.
Over the last thirty years we have sought to create likenesses in true lacquer of metal and ceramics, based on the skills we have learned and the design approaches we have employed. But that is not all. We have also developed conceptual abilities fostered by the folklore of the Noto Peninsula. This has expanded our vocabulary within the art and craft of true lacquer.
It gives us great pleasure, therefore, to present some of the results of our work at this exhibition.
Over the last three decades we have produced pieces of lacquerware symbolic of the Heisei period, which has now come to an end. With the coming of the Reiwa era, we will once again be pushing back the boundaries of lacquerware art as we move forward once more and trust that we may rely on your support and encouragement in our endeavours.
