Junko YASHIRO 八代淳子

Junko YASHIRO graduated from MFA in Urushi Arts, Department of Crafts, Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, Japan in 1995, where the university is the only one national university specialising in the arts among Japan.

Relocating to Karuizawa, Nagano with her family over ten years ago, she has begun her home-studio and started making limited lacquerware of her own design. Every lacquerware piece is handcrafted by Yashiro from a log of wood till the final touch of lacquer decoration.

Fuki-urushi technique is represented well in her lacquerware design. Thin and even lacquer coating is applied to highlight the natural, timeless beauty of the wood grain. These lacquerware are durable and will last.

八代淳子於1995年取得東京藝術大學專攻漆藝碩士。該校是日本唯一一所國立藝術大學。十多年前，她與家人一起移居長野縣的輕井澤。在兼顧家庭的同時，在家中設置工作室進行漆器創作。每一件器皿從原木材處理至最終的漆藝裝飾，都由八代淳子親自完成。這些漆器使用拭漆技法，塗漆薄而均勻以保留原始的木紋，經年月使用更耐看溫潤。

The Gallery by SOIL is dedicated to presenting the art of lacquer from Asia. It is probably the first gallery in Hong Kong which brings together lacquer masters and artists of diverse cultures, blending the traditional with the contemporary to showcase variety in the discipline.
