乾漆蒔絵水盤「雲の容(かたち)」 / Water Feature with Maki-e: Shapes of Clouds

悩みや葛藤の多い日々、ふと綺麗な雲を見つけると気持ちが解けることがある。嵐が過ぎ去った朝や、鬱々とした長雨の後。宇宙の摂理によって生まれ、流れ、かたちを変えてゆく雲が、人の心に映す美を蒔絵で表現したいと思っている。

On days when I have a lot of worries and conflicts in my mind, I sometimes feel comforted when I come across beautiful clouds. The morning after a storm has passed, or the time after an interminable and depressing rain has ended – through the providence of the universe, clouds form, drift and change their shape. I would like to convey in maki-e the beauty that such clouds reflect in people’s hearts.
