Tansu remake

越前和紙を体感する工芸宿「SUKU」の客室「MIYSUMATA（三椏）」のために制作した箪笥。リノベーション前、この建物に残されていた古い箪笥に越前和紙を貼り、柿渋で仕上げることで新たな表情を与え甦らせました。色味の異なる柿渋を、粗密のある和紙に対して順に塗り重ねることで、複雑な表情を作り出しています。和紙に柿渋を施し耐久性を高めるという伝統的な技法を用いながら、時間の経過とともに錆びた鉄のような重厚な佇まいに仕上げました。 This tansu was created for the guest room “MIYSUMATA” at SUKU, a craft hotel where visitors can experience Echizen washi.An old, decaying tansu that had remained in the building before renovation was revived by covering it with Echizen washi and finishing it with layers of persimmon tannin, giving it a new expression. Different tones of persimmon tannin were applied one after another onto the uneven texture of the washi, allowing the absorption and coloration to occur intentionally at random. While using a traditional technique of strengthening washi by applying persimmon tannin, the piece was finished to develop, over time, a heavy presence reminiscent of rusted iron.
