We are pleased to present an exhibition of lacquerware by Tomoaki Nakano, based in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture. Born into the tradition of Echizen lacquerware, Nakano studied under his father, lacquer craftsman Shoichi Hatanaka. Drawing on his experience as a lacquer artist, he works from the form of the wooden base through to the final lacquer finish, paying close attention to every detail of the vessel. The exhibition features bowls, plates, serving dishes, and other pieces for everyday use. We warmly invite you to experience Nakano’s refined craftsmanship and approach to contemporary lacquerware.
