Shingo Tsukuda: Wood Craft Exhibition
August 1 (Saturday) — August 10 (Monday [holiday]), 2020

Shingo considers himself less an artist than a craftsman. But he is very stylish, in fact, donning a fine hemp shirt patterned with Madras check the other day. Simplicity and modernity come and go, always natural/relaxed. In the hands of Tsukuda-san, wagatabon wooden trays also take on an air of refinement and captivating warmth. Wood crafts—raw material given shape and form—become companions to our lives. Tsukuda-san aids in that process. Combining skillful techniques and tools with an eye for selecting precious woods, he continually creates new contemporary pieces. In order to "make a living doing what he loves," as the saying goes, he works with the annual growth rings that accumulate in concentric circles on trees—surely not an easy endeavor, but that’s a tale for another time. Perhaps it is the pride of a craft that surpasses self expression.

佃眞吾  木工展
2020年8月1日(土)- 8月10日(月・祝)

眞吾さんは自らを作家といわず職人という。
実はとてもお洒落で、先日も上質な麻のシャツが粋なマドラスチェックだった。
飾り気のなさとモダンさが行ったり来たりして、いつも自然体。
我谷盆も佃さんの手にかかるとどこか洗練されて、しかもどこまでもあたたかい。
木という素材が形を得て、人の暮らしの伴侶となる。その手助けをしているのだ。
さらに言えば、熟練した技術と道具、銘木を選び出す眼を組み合わせて、
常に新しい今のものをうみだし続けている。
好きなことで食べていく。その為に積み重ねてきた年輪相手の努力は
並大抵ではなかったはずだが、そこは語らない。
自己表現を超えた工藝であることの誇りだろうか。
