Good afternoon.
We would love to introduce our artwork
which calls Suimon today.
Kyoto Zuihodo adopts a manual method to
hammer out dynamic, soft water ripples and longs to show the exuberant vitality
of water as well as the rousing nature of “water, which is the basic necessity
for survival of everything.” Because water resources have been easier to
acquire, people have forgotten how precious water is. It is the nature of water
to never stop flowing, and it is so gentle, leisurely, supporting the operation
and functions of human body and facilitating the harvest of crops. The water
ripples are so gentle and lovely, which may make you feel that the water in the
pot will dance for you anytime, for it is not only the stable water that hides
in the kettle.
Starting from a piece of sterling silver
and using tools that have been passed down and retained from the Meiji era, the
body of the tea pot is made by hammering and completely eschewing the welding
method. The shape of the lower abdomen of the kettle is round and full,
slightly and gradually closing up on the way up. There is also a neat twist
made by hammering, which extends straight up to the lid. Hammering tools are
the patrimony of Meiji era and are made by repeating a trimming technique to
meet the requirements for craftsman to create specific patterns for silver pots
and kettles, so they can hammer the unique vein lines.
Using top-level, pure quality precious
metals as materials and infusing traditional Japanese culture and jewellery and
metal arts, every singular silver pot or kettle is homemade in Japan. Kyoto
Zuihodo adopts the Japanese Samurai spirit which believes that no matter how
hard the creative process is, or how long it might take, we can always overcome
ourselves, hammering delicately to finish the most perfect works of art in our
hearts and present them to collectors.
皆様こんにちは。
本日は純銀製銀模様」のご紹介をいたします。
水の緩やかな流れを表現しており、繊細な槌目打ちや、曲線を施しました。この美しい模様は機械では決して制作する事が出来ず、手作りならではの模様であると共に、京都瑞鳳堂完全オリジナルでございます。
今天我為你們介紹的是純銀製銀瓶「水紋」.
京都瑞鳳堂手工鎚打出靈動、柔軟的水紋,想表現水那豐富的生命力與喚醒「水為萬物生存的根本」.因現代對水資源的取得越來越容易,但也忘卻水的珍貴與蘊含,還有它從不停息地流動姿態,是多麼的溫雅、優柔,且它支持著人類機能的運作與作物的豐收.柔媚的水波紋,將會讓你感受到壺中的水隨時會因你而起舞,不再只是隱匿於壺中靜止的水,如此而已.
從一片純銀片開始,使用明治時期所傳承、保留下的工具,鎚打製出壺身與完美的水波紋,完全避免了焊接.器形下腹圓潤飽滿,順上逐漸微收,鎚打出一道俐落轉折,再平直延伸上壺蓋.明治期所傳承下的鎚打工具,皆為當時的職人為了打造特定的銀壺紋路而一再修整而製,方能鎚打出獨有的紋理.
使用頂級、質量純粹的貴金屬為媒材,把日本傳統文化與金工藝術融為一體,每把銀壺皆為日本純手工製作,京都瑞鳳堂發揮日本武士精神,不論創作過程的艱難、耗費時間甚久,皆能戰勝自我,細膩地鎚打,為達心中期待呈現出最完美的藝術品給藏家們.
