Gen Hiramatsu Woodwork Studio
Zushi Exhibition
March 13th (Saturday) — March 21st (Sunday), 2021
You’ll find Gen’s studio at the base of Jadanigamine (Snake Valley Peak), to the northwest of Lake Biwa.
As a young man Gen found himself moved by the sight of kurimono (hollowed-out objects), and so chose to embark upon the woodworking path.
Fast forward some forty years, and Gen has become devoted to just making things.
The more you use his pieces, the more attached to them you become.
The more you use his pieces, the more beautiful they become.
Gen makes things you’ll want to use forever.
平松源木工房 『厨子展』
2021年3月13日（土）-3月21日（日）
琵琶湖の西北、蛇谷ヶ峰の山麓に平松さんの工房はある。
若き日に見た刳ものに心が震え、木工の道に入る。
それから四十余年、ただ作ることに真摯に向き合ってきた。
使うほどに作品は使い手に寄り添い、使うほどに美しくなる。
いつまでも大切に使いたくなるものを平松さんは今日も作っている。
