Seiichiro Fujino
Urushi lacquerware was once translated as “JAPAN.” It is a craft that has evolved through uniquely Japanese techniques and traditions, and even today, it continues to radiate a singular brilliance.
The process of lacquering involves applying and drying layer after layer, often taking a full year to complete a single piece. Because of this long and meticulous process, the black—often described as jet-black—is considered the darkest and most profound of all colors. The finest grade of this black is known as Roiro. While FUJINO Seiichiro’s works retain practical functionality, their forms and designs boldly stray from convention.
They evoke a curious sense of vitality, as if each piece were a living organism—growing and evolving on its own, carrying within it traces of another species. In this long-awaited first solo exhibition at PAKUPAKUAN, what unexpected visions will be reflected on the surface of Fujino’s Roiro.
