The main character of this video is HAKUGA artist TAKURO NOGUCHI.
HAKUGA is NOGUCHI's original painting, which uses gold leaf and silver leaf.
HAKUGA is a unique painting whose brilliance changes depending on the amount of light and viewing angle, giving a different impression.
At NOGUCHI's studio and gallery "HAKUYA NOGUCHI" in Nishijin, Kyoto, the family business was originally the manufacture of "HIKIHAKU", which is decorated with foil on Japanese paper coated with Japanese lacquer.
HIKIHAKU is one of the traditional techniques used to weave the weft threads into Nishijin brocade sashes.
NOGUCHI, who studied painting at an art university, pursued new possibilities for metal leaf, so he decided to become an artist rather than the family business of gold leaf production.
When he draws HAKUGA, he uses the technique of HIKIHAKU and inherits the tradition in the form of art.
NOGUCHI has been active as a HAKUGA artist for 20 years.
Starting in November 2020, he took on the challenge of creating his biggest work for half a year.
What kind of work was completed?
In the program, we will approach the thoughts and production of NOGUCHI, who works on the original contemporary art "HAKUGA".
