Dashi Katachi Essence of Japan

February 02, 2015

Last weekend, I had a great opportunity to work as an interpreter for "How to Make a wooden Butter Knife" workshop taught by two young wood masters from Kagoshima, Japan, Shuichi Kunitake & Shoji Morinaga at Heath Ceramics San Francisco. (after I hear his lecture and interpret his words over & over…I ended up teaching too! Grateful!) Lots of carving away for 2 straight hours in silence, which was indeed a very Zen-ish practice for all of us!  

サンフラシスコのヒースセラミクスで先日開催された、日本の出汁・その周りを形成するクラフト&作家達を紹介する大きなイベントで「木製バターナイフ」を作るワークショップの通訳をさせていただいた。2日間共満員御礼!皆さんが必死にしかし精魂込めて木を削る行為は禅ワークそのものだ!講師を務めたのは、センスと才能にキラキラと満ちた2人の鹿児島県出身の若手木工作家、国武秀一さんと盛永省治さん、彼らの繊細かつパワフルな作品を、是非ご覧になってみて下さい。
