Kaguwashi II: Glass, Lacquer, Metal, and Wood

We are pleased to present the second edition of Kaguwashi, a group exhibition featuring four superb artists, each working in a different medium: glass, lacquer, metal, and wood.
These four highly accomplished artists have devoted many years to refining their crafts and exploring the expressive potential of their chosen materials. We are delighted to present them together again, reunited for this special exhibition.
Yukako Kojima creates luminous sculptural forms by laminating and cutting plate glass, opening up a unique world of expression that captures and contains light.
Mina Okui works with the traditional technique of kanshitsu (dry lacquer), pursuing forms distinguished by the gentle elegance and refined beauty unique to lacquer.
Takahiro Iede presents new possibilities in metalwork through his original technique, ayaorigane, which expands the expressive range of the material.
Akio Watanabe, drawing upon his mastery of traditional joinery, creates works in which exquisite wood grain and intricate inlay harmonize beautifully.
The exhibition features more than 80 pieces, including an interesting collaborative project, Kaguwashi: Toki no Hana (Flower of Time), as well as wall-mounted works, sculptured objects, and vessels that bring a quiet richness to everyday life. Together, they embody the irresistible appeal of contemporary crafts.
We invite you to experience this remarkable collection, where the beauty of materials and the aesthetic sensibilities of their makers resonate in perfect harmony.
