Mitsuro Hikime: Tracing the Line. Past and Present


Chaired by Julia Skilton, the evening begins with a talk on the history of the technique in Japanese metalwork and its contemporary practice. The authors will also share visual material drawn from their research and creative practice in Japan and beyond.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A, a display of wax and cast works by the artists and the opportunity to view, purchase and have the new book signed.
Mitsuro Hikime: Japanese Wax Sculpting is the first in-depth publication dedicated to this technique, combining historical context, technical instruction from the Tomoyasu School, and contemporary approaches from the authors.
