Since 2018, we have sought to expand Japanese traditional crafts and artisan skills to other fields and so we commissioned Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec to create art and interior collections in Europe.The works on display at this solo exhibition include vases, flowers and plates. In addition to lacquer and gold leaf, wax casting and metal coloring techniques were used to create these pieces.
It may be a long trip for those who live far away, but we hope to see everyone who lives close at the venue.
Thank you to Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for this incredible opportunity and to everyone else who was involved.In addition, we are currently working on a number of pieces with Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec to display in Paris during 2023.
Please look out for further announcements.
