I love both of Patek Philippe and Japanese Rare Handcrafts

In the latest issue (V5) of PP magazine, I am very happy that more content that I like is featured more than usual. Among them, the article introducing Kanazawa, Japan’s leading handicraft town, was impressive to me. This is the work of Terumasa Ikeda, a young contemporary lacquer and mother-of-pearl artist living in Kanazawa.






Japanese handicrafts (KOGEI) have hundreds of years of tradition. In the latter half of the 19th century, when the samurai society came to an end, craftsmen who had been making arms until then changed jobs to crafts to earn foreign currency, and many famous items went abroad.




Wired cloisonne is one of them, and Yasuyuki Namikawa’s work, which is particularly popular, is very splendid. You can see and shoot the beauty that cannot be expressed within the constraints of the size of the dial.
