Kyoto ZUIHODO’s Commitment - Tools
When creating artworks, are the tools not important? Of course the artist’s commitment and spirit and protecting traditional techniques is important too, but you cannot create artwork without tools.
For the creators, tools are not merely objects used to make things. They are passed down from generation to generation, and are important objects filled with meaning.
There are many types of tools according to different patterns and processes, and many tools may be used to create one work. Artists must choose the right tools for the process they are using and the pattern they are creating.
Techniques which can only be created using certain tools have been handed down from the past to now.
