Applied layer by layer, lacquer develops remarkable depth and a lustrous sheen. The lacquer works displayed throughout ESPACIO depict sacred beasts such as the Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Kirin, their smooth surfaces and delicate luster conveying not only their vitality, but even the subtle movement of wind through the air. Their appearance changing constantly depending on the angle from which they are viewed and the play of light, these lacquer works bring a quiet tension and visual richness to the spaces they inhabit.
