Yushi Shigematsu: The Silent Language of Lacquer Born in Tsuyama, Japan, in 1963, Yushi Shigematsu is a master craftsman whose dedication to the ancient art of lacquerware has earned him considerable recognition within Japan and increasingly, internationally. While details about his early life remain somewhat sparse – a characteristic perhaps reflective of the deliberate quietude often found within traditional Japanese arts – his work…
Scroll through shigematsu, yushi's working life — artwork by artwork, chapter by chapter — from the earliest dated work to the last. Each thumbnail is pinned at its exact year on the gold axis.
The ribbon is divided into shaded bands, one per career chapter. Each chapter groups shigematsu, yushi's works by their historical period — early training, mature practice, final years.
Every thumbnail is pinned at its precise creation year. A thin gold thread drops from the image to its exact point on the axis. Larger frames mark the artist's masterpieces by rank.
The gradient bar beneath the axis shifts colour as the dominant art movement changes over time — from the warm golds of the early period through the deeper tones of maturity. It fills progressively as you scroll.
