Byakudan-Nuri with Yakou Maki-e "Akitsu-shima'' Price: $1,500 |
|
Byakudan-Nuri (painting technique) is after painting by black urushi lacquer ware, craftsmen paint shu-ai urushi
thinly over it. Then a craftsman sprinkles silver Keshi-fun (smallest size powder made from gold or silver foil) and
paint shu-ai urushi once more. Then we polish in detail to make a smooth surface to
do Maki-e.
On this surface, a craftsmen describe many dragonflies and polished up
as final process.
Because we drew dragonflies by black urushi, we introduced this work as Yakou-Maki-e corner.
When we watch this work in the vicinity, we image innumerably flying dragonflies
are shined by twilight .
Although many dragonfliies dance as one pattern, we can feel each one flies
in different blightness."Akitsu" is old name of dragonflies, ''Akitsu-shima (shima means island) '' means Yamato-no-kuni (Japan). (Quite few people knows this things.)
As we explain above. Yakou Maki-e based on Byakudan-nuri this time is brighter than tame-nuri base so far,
also the reflected light that swings slightly by the hit condition of light
is beautiful , these factors are good conbination
of Byakudan and Yakou Maki-e.
