Kohei Ukai joins AIFA
AIFA is proud to announce a new collaboration with
Kohei Ukai. A young lacquer artist based in Kanazawa, Japan.
Attracted by the symbiotic relationship between Urushi and wood, he creates sculptures using mostly camphor, Katsura and Keyaki trees. Urushi itself evokes the natural world, and its use in Ukai’s sculptures should not be seen as a decorating material.
