Materials: Urushi lacquer, powdered clay, cloth, wood, mortar, stone, ceramic plate
・This is one-of-a-kind handmade artworks. Therefore, the sale will end when each stock has been sold.
・These sculptures are made of Urushi lacquer. I will deliver a fully solidified work, but please be careful if you are sensitive to Urushi lacquer.
・Since Urushi lacquer is strong against water, It is possible to wipe lightly on the surface of the sculpture (the kind of using wet cloth).
・If it is soaked in water, the mildew will be caused by the water soaked into the core materials.
・Urushi is weak against UV rays. It will deteriorate if exposed to direct sunlight. Please be careful.
・All works are created for indoor viewing (environment similar to living room /environment where temperature and humidity are not extreme), so they cannot be installed outdoors. Please enjoy them in an environment suitable for the characteristics of the material.

Work Details
An olive tree is growing up healthily bathed in the sun. Sticking out a little, but it is no problem.
This is a small sculpture created using the Kanshitsu technique. In Kanshitsu, a mixture of Urushi (Japanese lacquer) and powdered clay is applied to cloth and layered repeatedly. It is fundamentally no different from the method used to create Buddhist statues 1,300 years ago. For me, sculpture begins with a simple question: How does a body stand? This is one creative answer.
