Artist Aki Tanaka Jewelry Exhibition in Bene Ginza
Salon will be held for two days, October 18th (Friday) and 19th (Saturday). Held for 3 days on the 20th (Sun)
*Akashic Record Jewelry by Aki Tanaka*
Akashic Record Jewelry, carving the memory of the earth by Aki Tanaka Aki Tanaka’s jewelry makes you feel strongly.
A piece that seems to be engraved with the memories of the earth. It seems to have the concept of an akashic record, in which all events, thoughts, and emotions are remembered from the beginning. The beauty of a rough stone is multi-verbal, and through the cutting and polishing of one artist, the memories of the earth engraved in the rough stone emerge quietly and resolutely.
Eight million gods dwell here. Mysterious beauty.
* “Tsuchinami” *
Antique turquoise mined in Tibet with a beautiful gradation of blue, green, and orange.
And a black matrix that brings out the turquoise color.
The matrix is soft and the turquoise is hard.
To match the unevenness created by the difference in hardness, the width of the fukurin is narrow where it touches the turquoise, and slightly wider where it touches the matrix, making it more strong and weak to bring out the bulge of the turquoise.
The material is silver to blend in with the blue of the turquoise and the black of the matrix, and the area around the stone is finished with an earthen grain to create an uneven, earthy feel.
In addition, a fine roughness is added to the areas that touch the black, and due to the aging characteristic of silver, the design fuses the worldview of stones and rings.
My hope as a writer is to live in nature and incorporate the inspiration I learned from nature into my work, and to be able to help people feel the beauty of nature through my work.
So says Crystal Artist Aki Tanaka.
The inspiration I incorporate into my work is the appearance of greenery sprouting, the expression of water gushing out in the mountains, the appearance of waves in the ocean, the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, the dignified appearance of moss nestled deep in the mountains, and the creation of rain and light. Rainbows, seasonal scents, and more.
We cut and polish the rough stones that we select ourselves. The landscape of this piece brings us back to the heart of nature.
* “Glitter in the water” *
When you look into the moist crystal, you will see a single crystal rising in the center and towering like a dragon.
Next to it is a delicately sparkling light gold amphiball that gives the impression of breath.
Fukurin has a mirror finish to match the freshness of the stone, and is designed to make the stone and silver shine as one.
Only the nails are made of K10YG to blend in with the delicately sparkling light gold amphiball, and the dragon’s skin has a strong and fine texture that enhances the scenery inside the stone.
* “Mountains and Water” *
Quartz in quartz with a landscape that looks like a mountain bathed in the morning sun and releasing water vapor.
A ring created with the theme of “Mountains and Water”, the circulation of water in the natural world, in which the god of water, the dragon, grasps a dignified and towering crystal of water with his four stable claws.
The beauty of a rough stone is multi-verbal, and through the cutting and polishing of one artist, the memories of the earth engraved in the rough stone emerge quietly and resolutely. Eight million gods dwell here.
Mysterious beauty.
