Description:

The Hawk is a fascinating Bird of Prey. In many cultures around the world, the hawk is admired for its courage, power and determination. In addition to being fearless, intrepid and daring, the hawk is patient and strong. And with its all-seeing eye, the Hawk seeks out its prey with deadly efficiency.

The Sailor Limited Edition “Hawk” was created for a private membership in the Far East. A total of twenty items have been made for Oriental collectors, while only five are available for the rest of the world.

The well-known artist Ms. Etsuko Tsurata, once apprentice of the Famous National Treasure Mr Shogyo Oba, created the Hawk using the Chinkin technique. The result is a painstakingly crafted bird of prey of which each feather (with x10 magnification) can be individually viewed! The ineffable shape of the Chinkin hawk is created using silver and gold powder. The delicate flowers are made using the same Chinkin technique and coloured with Kansitsu powders.

Chinkin is a technique that requires extreme precision. Using specially designed mini-chisels, tiny grooves and lines are formed in the perfectly layered Urushi. There is no room for error. You will understand why when you see the Hawk for yourself. Only highly skilled artists can achieve such intricacy. To crown it all, the lovingly designed Urushi lacquered box features the same motif.

 The Artist’s Proof was on display in Diest until 22 April 2017.
