Instructor Profile

Matsuzaki Yutaka Tōru Matsuzaki Resides in Motegi Town, Chairman of the Crafts Department of the National Painting Association, Wood Lacquer Crafts Artist

"My job is to carve wood and dress it in lacquered kimono."
"I believe that my thoughts come first, and expressing them is my technique."

Therefore, I keep the technique as simple as possible, cherish the beauty of the form, apply layers of lacquer onto that shape, and stop when it looks beautiful to my own eyes. I seek the beauty of the form, dress it in a strong kimono, and through use by people, it becomes even more beautiful and lustrous.
I want my works to possess dignity alongside strength.
