Description

【Mr. Cypress –Kawari-nuri : Tarzan】
Indulging in the mountains and forests, free and unrestrained in nature, Tarzan is representative of strength and beauty, and combine wisdom and courage. Living in jungle is different from us in a cement life that bring up Tarzan’s carefree and at ease—Maybe it is many people's longings and hopes that under the pressure of busy life.

Green is the color of life and growth in forest, and vines are display of vitality. The strong and bright color configuration shows the vigor that full of life in forest and present the style of charm clearly in a difference.

The designer accurately mastered the characteristics of raw lacquer and most beautifully described the enthusiasm and vagility atmosphere of Tarzan in the jungle.

Kawari-nuri is one of the urushi crafts. To make these varnished patterns, commonly known as "graining", uses less strokes, but uses a variety of tools to make the patterns. Instead, the monochromatic holding position is painted stroke by stroke. The common method of wavy texture is to wind with cotton thread. After the cotton thread is removed, the paint surface will produce uneven horizontal stripes (so it is not painted), and then apply multiple layers of different color paints, and then grind the layers similar to the wafer sandwich. Graining is usually random, so two pens cannot replicate exactly the same pattern, It is even more difficult to add raden in the Kawari-nuri process. The shells and lacquer have to be polished many times to make them smooth and seamless, which takes the test of time.

The special drying conditions of natural tree lacquer are extremely cumbersome and time-consuming, requiring dozens of repeated painting and polishing. The designer is careful every time It takes at least three months to make a pen, creating a distinctive feature, and the output is scarce and precious, so the work has a unique artistic value.

The tree lacquer has been collected and made into lacquer pens. With the increase of time, the color and luster will only become more and more clear and beautiful, the hand feels warm, and it will show the everlasting collection value.
