Ornamental box Mirage: Blue

Gakuto, Sasaki, 2012

This box is made entirely of lacquer: from the surface of the raw denim to the stitching and buttons. Each button bears the name of the box, Mirage: Blue. The lacquer artist Gakuto is fascinated by materials and surfaces, which he uses to throw the viewer off course. He is rooted in a long Japanese tradition of creating playfully designed arts and crafts.
