Title

“Turned Wooden Seal — “Kō”

挽物の判子。杉材を「工」の輪郭に挽いた後、半分に割き、断面に浮造り(木目の凹凸を強調する仕上げ)を施し製作されている。「工」は天地をつなぐ営みを意味する。

Crafted from Japanese cedar, the wood is turned on a lathe into the contour of the character “Kō” (工), then split in half. The cut surface is finished with ukidukuri, a traditional technique that brings out the natural grain and depth of the wood. The form “Kō” evokes a quiet balance between the human and the cosmic.
