Since my great-grandfather's generation (Meiji era), we have been engaged in chūkin (casting) in Tokyo, and I am the fourth generation.
I produce the artworks in cast metal and coloring based on traditional techniques, and I do all processes by myself, from making the original shape to melting, polishing, firing, and boiling the metal.
The distinctive feature of Tokyo's chūkin is the uncompromising handwork that goes into every detail.
Many people tend to view handcrafted kōgei, especially metalwork, as something special, and may take rigid stance toword them, but I would appreciate it if you could enjoy appreciating them without this kind of hesitation.
If you are at all interested in metalwork, we hope you will enjoy them by researching the materials and techniques being used to make them, and discovering and learning about them.
