Description

白亀甲 -White Hexagons- This piece is defined by a clear, luminous white ground, where lines of vermilion and gold stand out with crisp elegance, creating a feeling of purity and brightness. The kikkō pattern is a repeating hexagonal motif derived from a turtle’s shell, and has long been cherished in Japanese decorative art as an auspicious design symbolizing longevity, stability, and enduring happiness. By layering soft volume and fan-like folds onto this orderly geometric pattern, I shaped the piece to bring a sense of light movement into its refined structure. The beauty of the clear white base further highlights the outlines of the motif, bringing a poised brightness and graceful radiance to the space where it is displayed. 澄んだ白を基調に、朱赤と金のラインがきりりと映える、清らかで晴れやかな一枚です。亀甲文は、亀の甲羅に由来する六角形の連続文様で、長寿や安定、末永い幸せを願う吉祥柄として古くから親しまれてきました。整然と連なる幾何学の美しさに、やわらかなふくらみと扇状の折りを重ねることで、端正さの中に軽やかな動きが生まれるように仕上げています。クリアな白の美しさが文様の輪郭をいっそう引き立て、空間に凛とした明るさと上品な華やぎを添えてくれる作品です。
