Voilà quelques infos:

LIST OF OUR ARTISTS
The ancient Japan was classified by the governing class, manufacturing industry, farmers and business class. The people did not belong to any of these classes had to do something for their living, and what they could do was to use their two hands to make something to use or sell. And this was the beginning of Japanese handcraft community under system of Shijuku, private school at master’s home. This system last for several hundred years till today, though very few left now. The people learnt from his master at the private school are called Shokunin, craftsmen.
Every school has their own skills and initiated the followers into the secret of the skills. I call them artists, but interestingly they don’t like to be called artist. Every Shokunin is very proud of his skills and his school but they don’t admire those who study at art colleges to get degree to be artists. They would think the people from art colleges know the theories, but don’t know the skills. And that might mislead people to think that Shokunin are not easy to get along with.
Today’s Maki-e shi are divided by two sides. One is art for the art’s sake organized by Nitten Association giving artists the chances to exhibit their works, while the other is traditional philosophy to train craftsmen to mature their skills for their works supported by Dento Kogei Association. All our Maki-e shi are traditional craftsmen except Mr. Kenji Yamamoto, who is from Nitten.
As foreigners to Japanese, that we could work with Maki-e shi so amicably and enthusiastically is our predestined and we love it and really appreciate it. All our Maki-e shi are very talented and proud of their works for us believing that we are trying to support the art, Maki-e.
