Evening Haze (Banka) Document Box

Oshiyama Motoko 押山元子 Japanese

Not on view

On this silver box, a combination of sheets has been used to create a geometric pattern with fine gradations. Oshiyama Motoko studied metal carving, chiseling, and hammering techniques at Tokyo’s Bunka Gakuen University. Later she trained with the Living National Treasure Okuyama Hōseki (born 1937). She draws inspiration from natural phenomena, welding and soldering metals together to produce refined objects with swirling patterns and abstract designs.
