Exhibition Notice


The Artistry and Craft of True Lacquer  Exhibition at Takashimaya in Osaka

Hikoju Makie, Takashi Wakamiya:  The Artistry and Craft of True Lacquer
For the past 12,600 years the art and craft of true lacquer has developed along with the people of Japan.  But what of the future?  Our aim is to create works symbolic of the present while linking the past, present and future of this truly remarkable material.  Please take this opportunity of seeing some of our work at this exhibition, which is being staged at Takashimaya in Osaka.

This incense clock is a devise for measuring time with incense.  As the incense smoulders and turns to ash part of one’s like is gone.  This “fragrance time piece” helps us to become more aware of how long we are alive and how time is passing.

Takashi Wakamiya, Hikoju Makie

The incense clock measures 24x24cm and stands 29cm high.  The panels represent the four seasons with appropriate landscapes rendered in a traditional makie technique.

香時計は香りで時間を計る道具ですが、お香が燃えて灰になる事で自分の生きる時間が消えて無くなると感じました。今生きている時間を再認識する為に制作いたしました。
