Takao Togashi is a lacquer artist and the third generation head of a lacquerware studio \u201cNushi Ichitomi\u201d located in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. Often inspired by the western designs, he is conscientious about creating works that bring out the potential of lacquer by making full use of various traditional techniques such as \u201cAizu Tamamushi-nuri\u201d, which has a beautiful sheen that reminiscent of the wings of \u201ctamamushi\u201d (jewel beetle), as well as \u201cShibuichi-nuri\u201d and \u201cTetsusabi-nuri\u201d, which have an elegant metallic texture. In this exhibition, we will showcase more than 100 pieces of his work which includes tableware such as sake vessels, bowls, plates, chopsticks, and trays, as well as small boxes and art pieces that will enliven living spaces.
