A lacquer ware, like representative tableware, is treated as a gear in daily life therefore it is not so large compared with a size of the human body. Generally, a highly sophisticated lacquer ware is admired in your hands and your gaze is concentrated upon its surface, so you see it rather than feel it directly. I try to bring a world out from your hands by making a gallery space in which the lacquered surfaces spread out. You could be aware that you are among the surfaces. You feel it rather than see it.
