Painter's Story
About This Novel
When I was in my mid-twenties, I suddenly gave up my life as a magazine editor in the metropolis Tokyo and came to a small island on the edge of the Sea of Japan to learn a traditional craft - lacquer art - from scratch. Another period of Akagi Minden's life began. This book is an autobiographical essay by Akito Akagi, who has become a lacquer artist and has gained a certain status in the field of arts and crafts, looking back on his artistic journey. The work completely records the process of a layman coming into contact with lacquerware for the first time and finally creating a unique work. In the process of becoming a master, the author examines the contemporary value of lacquer art, a traditional craft, and involves the eternal proposition of the aesthetics and practicality of art. More importantly, it records the change in the author's mentality when he resigned from a stable workplace and entered the art field, and explored personal freedom in the improvement of skills.
