KAMAKURA Hideo Azuma Exhibition

The carving techniques that have been passed down through the generations in Kamakura, and the dry lacquer techniques that have been refined by Buddhist sculptors

Having mastered that tradition in Kamakura, Mr. Azuma has consistently pursued his craft with an innovative spirit within the world of "lacquer art," combining originality and unexpectedness while honoring traditional techniques.
This exhibition seamlessly blends the expressive freedom of "art" with the technical realm of "crafts"--such as lacquered boxes and bowls--resulting in a truly captivating display. Please see the truly one-of-a-kind world of Mr. Azuma.

The roots of Kamakura carving lie in Buddhist sculptors
In addition to sculpture, I will utilize my dry lacquer Buddhist statue making techniques to create works that suit modern life
