"I want to create works that surprise and move people. This is my starting point," says Hakata doll maker Yoichi Nishiyama. This is one of his works from the "Arigata Fruit" series, which expresses gratitude for the familiar fruits that can be offered as offerings or eaten as blessings from heaven and earth.
Bananas are often eaten as a snack, and are filled with the strong vitality of the everlasting summer, brightening the mood and giving energy. The yellow color is an auspicious fruit that brings good fortune.
In addition to expressing gratitude to producers, it also expresses the social issues that arise during the production process.
From the sketch to the finishing touches, each piece is carefully made by one person.
The design is humorous yet elegant.
This is a masterpiece that gives you a sense of the flexibility and depth of Japanese culture. Hakata dolls are highly popular as interior decorations.
Nishiyama Yoichi's works, which shine with solid skill and beauty amidst humor, will warm the hearts of those who see them simply by casually placing them in their daily lives.
