Akira Sano is a master of 'Lacquer.' He is in the doctoral program at Kyoto City University of Arts, majoring lacquer.
To not to be tedious, he challenges to the new world of a lacquer tree. Using 'aura = spirituality' the tree has, the material itself, and unique character of Japanese culture, he builds the independent world of lacquer.
In this exhibition, Sano shows a mix of conceptualized 'cute' images of a character and lacquer technique.
