Books take me out to another world by turning the pages.
What dream they’ll be tonight? I wish I could go somewhere far away from this world by riding a rocket.

本は僕を遠くに連れて行ってくれるんだ。
ページをめくるとそこは夢の中。
今日はどんな夢を見ようかなー。
ロケットでどこか遠くの星に行きたいなぁ。

放射線状に広がる灯りは完璧なバランスなのにあたたかみがある。壁際に置くと屈折する光を楽しんだり、おうちのどこに置くか考えるのが楽しい作品です。

Kamakura, an ancient city of Samurai, has beautiful craftwork.
Have you ever heard the name of the city “Kamakura”?
Kamakura, it is located near Tokyo, is the birthplace of Japan’s first military government at the end of 12th century.
As political and economic power had moved from previous capital Kyoto to Kamakura shogunate (the head of the military government), the collaborative culture with rustic Samurai spirits and a great effect of Zen, a school of Buddhism, was bloomed and thrived.
Including Tsuruoka Hachiman-gu, a shrine in the heart of Kamakura, there are many historical locations such as Kotoku-in with a huge bronze statue of Budda and Zeniarai Benten Shrine, where the first shogunate prayed for his family prosperity.
Kamakura is a popular destination for tourists who are fascinated to its historical elements and rich Samurai culture.
Kamakura-bori (Kamakura sculpture), a lacquered craftwork was born from such unique culture.

武家の古都、鎌倉の伝統工芸。
鎌倉という名前を耳にしたことがあるだろうか？
東京にほど近い鎌倉は、武士によって幕府が初めて開かれた土地である。幕府の繁栄に伴って、力強い武家精神と、禅の影響があわさった独特の文化がこの地で花開いた。
鶴岡八幡宮をはじめ、全長１１mを越える大仏、頼朝公が一族の繁栄を願ったといわれる銭洗弁天神社など、時を経て、今なお色濃く残る武家文化に引きつけられる観光客も多い。
そんな文化と同時期に生まれたのが、鎌倉彫という漆工芸である。
