Ancient Toyama pottery ~Rock Ptarmigan~

Takumi Azechi

Technique: Rust painting
Materials: magnolia, lacquer, linen cloth, ground powder, abrasive powder, dry lacquer powder

The motif is the ptarmigan. To be honest, I've never actually seen a wild ptarmigan in Tateyama, but I was drawn to their plump form, so I tried to depict both males and females in a mural style.

Artist: Takumi Azechi
I create my works using lacquer. I am drawn to the forms and patterns found in masks and murals, and I would like to recreate the atmosphere they evoke in my own works.
