Rhino Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Art by Someya Satoshi
Located in Atlanta, GA
Japanese Lacquer Rhino Sculpture by Someya Satoshi (1983-). A hand-molded lacquer sculpture that depicts a fantasy beast "Rhino". The artist uses century-old traditional techniques and symbols but with an innovative contemporary energy that borders mysticism, shamanism and surrealism. Found objects were equally treated as part of the meticulous designs as the elaborate Maki-e and shell inlays.
According to the press of Honolulu Museum of Art: "Someya Satoshi has been described as “one of the most significant contemporary lacquer artists working in Japan today.” (Japan Times, 12 Dec. 2013) His work combines objects of daily use, such as bathing buckets, serving trays, and soup bowls, with a wide array of natural materials, including animal bones, horns and antlers, sand, stones, leaves and branches. In the process, he implements a range of traditional lacquer methods passed down from pre-modern eras, such as the kanshitsu or “dry lacquer” technique, the origins of which date to Japan’s Nara period (710–784). After creating his forms, he embellishes them with designs inspired by calligraphy, traditional Japanese textile patterns, and even contemporary manga or comic books. His work defies ordinary definitions of lacquer art and successfully challenges the perceived limits of this extremely difficult and, in some ways, most conservative of traditional Japanese art forms".
His work was exhibited in US such as Honolulu Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Morikami Museum etc. For a complete resume of the artist, see the artist's page in Imura Art Gallery.

Burmese Kammavaca Giltwood Box, Stand, and Manuscript, 18th/19th Century
Located in Austin, TX
A gorgeous Burmese carved and gold leafed teakwood stand and cover for a kammavaca manuscript, late 18th or early 19th century, Burma.
The manuscript chest is heavily rococo influenced, speaking to the French presence in the region at the time. The carved teak stand is formed as a raised platform set upon four large scrolling acanthus leaf feet, with carved flour-de-lis to the apron.
The cover for the stand is also carved from teak, and features a series of rectangular cartouches, each set with a red foil backed glass "gem", surrounded by shell inlay, and embellished with green and silver foil backed glass sequins.
The top of the cover features the same design motif, with the addition of thayo lacquer design elements, and is strongly reminiscent of Tibetan manuscript...

Of unusually generous proportions, with a slightly domed lid. Large handles on the side were used for carrying the the bridal trousseau. The hinges are constructed in such a way that the lid can be slid off after opening, for easier access.

Kanshitsu Bachi Stunning Color Lacquer Bowl
Located in Fukuoka, JP
A remarkable red-colored signed lacquer worker bowl crafted using the traditional Japanese lacquer technique Kanshitsu bachi.
The Japanese lacquer technique, also known as urushi, is a time-honored process that involves coating objects with layers of sap derived from the lacquer tree. The lacquer dries to form a durable and glossy finish that is resistant to water, heat, and acids, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
The stunning red color of this worker bowl is sure to make it a standout piece in any interior design, while its signed lacquer and skilled craftsmanship showcase its unique value as a collector's item. Investing in this Kanshitsu bachi lacquer worker bowl is a wise choice for both collectors and those looking for a unique and elegant item to add to their interior. Its rich cultural and artistic history, combined with its exceptional beauty and durability, makes it an investment that will be cherished for years to come. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of Japanese lacquer art and add a touch of sophistication to your home or collection.
*Kanshitsu bachi.
Kanshitsu is a Japanese lacquerware technique that involves the use of hemp cloth, linen or paper to create a base layer, which is then coated with multiple layers of lacquer. The result is a highly durable and decorative surface that can be shaped and carved into various forms.
"Bachi" can refer to the wooden bowl used for mixing pigments in the process of making lacquerware, so it's possible that Kanshitsu bachi refers to an artist who specializes in lacquerware bowls...
