About the Work

Terumasa Ikeda (b. 1987) is an innovative raden specialist; using a laser cutter, Ikeda fabricates shimmering mother-of-pearl Arabic numerals ingrained into the exterior of the lacquered box, creating a holographic luminescence that emanates from within. Ikeda takes a modern approach to his iconography, transforming the lacquer surface into the likeness of a digital screen.

As functional objects, Ikeda’s futuristic vessels bridge the worlds of classical and modern lacquer.
