"Dry lacquer" is a lacquer technique represented by the Ashura statue.
Since the method is to paste linen cloth on the mold, harden it with lacquer, and remove the mold, it is possible to intentionally mold it unlike the potter's wheel molding.
While there are many object writers with impressive unique forms, Katsuji Kamata is working on making vessels that are simple and make the most of their lightness. Aiming for an organic and well-fitting shape, the prototype is made from pottery.
"This is my first solo exhibition in 2025, and my first new work in a long time. The year 2024 has reminded me that we live in harmony with nature. I want to live my life by making vessels that respect the natural material called lacquer and value the shapes that are born from it."
