Message from Yasuyoshi Matsumoto sensei
This piece evokes the mysterious sense of distance one feels at the water’s edge—a connection to everything, yet also a boundary. The red patterns of copper are created by firing polished metal at extremely high temperatures, just before it begins to melt. While the surface usually appears mostly black, I challenged myself to adjust the temperature and timing so that the red tones emerge more fully across the entire piece.

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.
