Bunkamura Museum is here
- Please give me the impression that saw the exhibition.
First of all, this only of the tiara was the large satisfied with only say that come together. Because does not originally attached to the body is nobody, then or have been incredibly fine jewelry is used, it every single piece had shot a big presence. Moreover, simply if you are side by side tiara, we end up with a just impression of "Na beautiful," but, in conjunction with the tiara in this exhibition, rich exhibition women photos and portraits had been wearing it It is. By viewing them together, and "whether these people were wearing in this dress", I was able to image the story that has been hidden in the beautiful tiara. Are organized by age and style, it was interesting also the side that traced the history of jewelry.
- Please tell me, especially the remaining work in the impression.
I was attracted to foreign works that would thought, "Are also ant this tiara?". Among them, iron "Berlin Iron Paryuru (the early 19th century, made in Germany)," had glowing fun of the material. Iron is the tiara seems to suits not, but this work is finished in a very elegant and delicate. Nowadays, to lose a craftsman job which had made the weapon, So you have to become the case as to create the accessories were many. How is such a craftsman made with their own ideas, or what was asked to someone is unknown, is to decorate a diamond was impressed with imagination that put an eye on the iron to the commonplace era. In addition, "turquoise floral tiara (made around 1860, France)" is used, such as in the Indian jewelry, strong turquoise of the indigenous of the image have been boldly used, was a distinguished presence. Well taking advantage of the characteristics of the material, I felt a good personality to the point that put a unique sense of volume that was fluffy. Then, in this exhibition, craftsmen and "I will be in such a design" to the customer, it has been in advance to be decorated with close to 100 body prototype made in order to confirm. These prototype was surprised also that had been left.
- In order to enjoy more of the exhibition, is there may be a point that when consciousness.
Nothing but, sigh in its beauty, I think enough to enjoy the view that. If the person you are interested in jewelry, even a little, you should want to looking at all the time (laughs). If you say the professional thing a little bit, and I decided to go take a look at the back of the tiara, you can see that there is a difference in such closure the way of jewelry by work. Front side of not only the beauty, if observed also bear the care on the back side, craftsman commitment and ingenuity will come into view.
Hair ornaments for women who were lavishly studded, such as jewelry. Ancient had been made from the Greek era, especially court culture has developed among the upper classes in Europe in the early 20th century from the 19th century was prosperity. It is exhibiting more than 100 points at the center of the work of the time in the "Princess shine tiara exhibition of".
- Originally, can you tell us an opportunity to Mr. Minewaki is aimed at the jewelry artist.
When I was through to the Akita Prefecture of high school, it's had been for some reason at the textbook of Hiko Mizuno College of Jewelry in the library. That watching it is jewelry making will work, I learned for the first time. In addition also overlap that friend had happened to have a school of school assistance, "if it fails to college entrance examination, I might go to this school," said, we began to think. Then, really fallen in college (laughs). Enrolled in such circumstances, it has been moved to Shibuya apartment 4 tatami mats and a half bath without the shared toilet. During the student immersed in study of the design of jewelry, after graduation was thought to be a designer to work for jewelry-related company. Leave it be recommended to the instructor, become a lecturer assistant, then, and ...... become a lecturer officially, continues Isuwari to school (laughs). At the same time, it has also promoted development of their own work, now make jewelry using the plastic off-the-shelf from around 1998 in earnest.
- How did you become to make a unique piece of plastic material?
Was making jewelry in which the plastic material from the old days. So, some time, I have had that got off to a capsule of the Mini. Of course, the form is I thought to be a round, shaped like a bean appeared. It is interesting and so try to cut anything and everything the personal belongings of plastic (laughs). Gradually, or turn off the such as 100 yen writer and plastic model, or cut, and or a hole, now make a ring or necklace. There might be, but experience made a necklace picking flowers when I was a woman, if a child, I sense is close to it that I make jewelry. "From these things, we were able this interesting jewelry" has been made with the feeling that.
- At school, I Will teach what field or.
Fashion accessories course I'm in charge, the plastic and paper, leather, etc., using a variety of materials, has been teaching to make jewelry out of the box. The student, not only convey the technology, we often talk about the cloak of jewelry "possibility". Jewelry is worn on the body, is a work of art that can be carried anywhere. It will be the favorite jewelry in happy mood was excited just to wear, such as "I have put a cute ring", it also may become in the wake of the conversation. In addition, but it is "abandoned not what" I jewelry. There is also a reason that because it is expensive to it, but for or a gift from someone, case or asked to make many, it is also great that feeling is jammed. I want to share the fun of making such a jewelry. Students from idea is really rich, and "Do not be far behind," It is often here is subjected to a stimulus.
- Finally, can you tell us the future of the vision and goals.
I am making a little unusual jewelry, but the fact that "there is also a way to enjoy this kind of jewelry", want to spread to more people. To do so, we also want to continue with to make the work in the future, brought up the jewelry artist with the same feelings. So to me, So you need two of the face of jewelry artist and lecturer. Then, to everyone, memories are clogged, You know that can not be abandoned to throw away. By processing those things, we thought that interesting when you are raised to create a precious jewelry of only that person. Up to now, Gibbs and was out after the fracture has healed, I Have you in the material a worn suitcase (laughs). I am happy When you go to expand the possibility of a way to enjoy the jewelry doing so.
Shibuya and is for Mr. Minewaki?Itself to walk Shibuya, it has helped to create works. To sensitive people to the epidemic has Ikika', are born one after another also new shop. Even just walked a little, because the incoming vast amounts of information, I think that it is a large city of that are taught to people involved in the design and marketing. Tokyu Hands, etc., to enter the hand walking material needed for making jewelry. In Shibuya love or, when asked, it does not come out the answer is soon to be strange. For memories from to Tokyo is always the Shibuya, beyond the "likes and dislikes", it has become part of life. Feelings that are holding to Shibuya, I also different from any other city.
The desire to Shibuya in the future?I, I I like really a construction site (laughs). Now, in the Meiji-dori that are particularly like, at night, and see that out leak light of work from the gap of the ground, and "now, is moving underground", wrapped in very mysterious think you. Going forward, I want you to a lot of construction in Shibuya (laughs). Then, it is that I think is strong Please do not change significantly in the future. The folksy tavern called "stubborn old man" Shibuya station nearby has continued to be attended more than 20 years from student days to (laughs). When walking down the Shibuya, such as "Do I met with my friends in here." "Do not came to take pictures here", a variety of storage is crossing the head. I think that the alley of the landscape that was full of such memories I want to remain forever.
