This time it is RYO MITANI, a plasterer craftsman. He creates unconventional works that stick to natural materials, such as three-dimensional clay walls and multi-colored clay walls using clay from various production areas.
MITANI was born and raised in Nagaokakyo City. When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I admired the plasterer who was working in the house across the street that was being built. It seems that the figure that waved the trowel looked like a samurai. Then, at the age of 15, he started training and fulfilled his boyhood dream.
camera to the work site. In a detached house that is being renovated into a community space, MITANI, who was entrusted with the Japanese-style room, tried to fuse photographs and pastel paintings with the plasterer. With the theme of the fairy tale "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," the entire room is said to look like a picture scroll.
MITANI also holds mud dumpling workshops on an irregular basis in order to make plastering widely known. Mud dumplings that children are addicted to are said to have originated in plastering, and MITANI has been researching them for many years. What is the plasterer's technique packed in shiny mud balls?
