Lacquerwork from the Ancient Capital of Japan
Lacquerwork by Monika Bincsik
Kyoto has always been one of the most important centres of lacquer production. In this talk one of the foremost authorities on Japanese lacquerware, Dr Monika Bincsik from the Art Research Centre at Kyoto’s Ritsumeikan University, will trace the history of Kyoto lacquers from the Edo period (1615 to 1868) through to contemporary masters. She will focus on the art of Mutsumi Suzuki (1942-2009) who has created innovative lacquerwork inspired by the traditions of Kyoto.
This is also the first opportunity to see RAMM’s recent acquisition Golden Fields of Rice by Mutsumi Suzuki and other items from the lacquerware collection.
