Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, I have been searching for new sculptural expression used by Kanshitsu technique which is a traditional way of creating statues, from a contemporary viewpoint of pursuing the possibility of various three dimensional expressions. In order to confirm Kanshitsu expressions of modern sculpture in Japan, I conducted an onsite survey of sculptures by Takezou Shinkai and Toyoichi Yamamoto. I found the feature that the sculptors had modeled using Sabi-urushi (Urushi paste mixed with muddy polishing powder; this is usually used for the foundation of Urushi bowls) and had connected the material to sculptural expression at the completed stage. I discovered that they use Urushi as the statue’s body itself, not as a surface decoration. As a result, in my practical study, I could suggest a unique sculptural expression by using Kanshitsu with the ambivalent disposition of massiveness and light, something which has not been used in past sculptural expression.
