Shunsho Hattori Born in 1943, he was first selected for the Nitten Exhibition in 1963. Since then, he has exhibited his work at exhibitions including the Nitten Exhibition, and has won numerous prestigious awards. In 1995, he met with Pope John Paul II and presented him with a book stand. In the same year, he created a display shelf for the guest room of the Kyoto State Guest House. He is currently a council member of the Nitten Exhibition, a managing director of the Japan Machinery Association, and a member of the Kyoto Prefectural Crafts and Artists Association. Member of the Kyoto Lacquer Artists Association and the Sokokai.
Hattori says, "I want to use lacquer, a traditional Japanese culture, and pass on the techniques established in the Heian period, while pursuing practical applications that are applicable to the present day." The innovative designs on the incense burners and tea utensils, and the forms of the decorative boxes are reminiscent of modern art. Moreover, his meticulous consideration and aesthetic sense, which are based on the premise that each item will be used, are evident everywhere. The dazzling, solemn light of the gold lacquer ware is decorated with classical patterns, and the blue or pearl-colored oyster shells imported from Mexico and New Zealand add a gorgeous touch to the pieces. Utility and beauty, tradition and modernity, Japanese and Western styles blend together in a beautiful way. That is Hattori's work.
