下地窓の墨壺 材種 桑
糸車を下地窓の形に彫り
結束線で蔓の様に編み込んだ
軽子は茶道で使う棗の形
数寄屋建築に携わるなら墨壺もそれっぽいのが良いなと憧れていた
先輩の墨壺を見た時の衝撃は未だに覚えている
そして先輩の墨壺をオマージュして作った
ただ、その先輩の墨壺の完成度には程遠い
自分の周りに腕の良い先輩が居る環境は本当に有り難かった
勿論、そう言った環境で仕事がしたかったから
それなりに努力もしたし
いつでもチャンスを掴める姿勢でいた
環境さえ良ければ誰でも良くなる訳ではないし
悪いからと言って腐る訳でもない
全ては自分次第
この人の様になりたい!って自分が思っていた人にはまだまだ程遠いけど
誰かの目標になれる様な自分ではいたい
まだまだ道のりは長いな

Inkwell for a Sh*taji Window | Material: Mulberry
Carved into the shape of a Sh*taji window
and woven like vines using binding wire
The "Karuko" is shaped like a natsume used in the tea ceremony
I had always admired the idea that if I were to work on Sukiya-style architecture, the inkwell should look the part
I still remember the shock I felt when I first saw my senior’s inkwell
And so, I created this as an homage to my senior’s inkwell
However, it falls far short of the perfection of that senior’s inkwell
I was truly grateful to be in an environment surrounded by skilled seniors
Of course, since I wanted to work in that kind of environment,
I put in a fair amount of effort,
and I always kept myself ready to seize any opportunity.
It’s not as if anyone can improve just because the environment is good,
nor does a bad environment mean you’ll give up.
It all depends on yourself.
I’m still a long way from the person I once looked up to and thought, “I want to be like them!”
But I want to be the kind of person who can serve as a goal for others.
I still have a long way to go.
