About Satoshi Kimura
In 2019, Satoshi Kimura dismantled a 300-year-old Edo-period *kagami-buta* (lid for a lacquer inro) not to replicate it, but to cast its negative space in titanium, creating the 'Kage-no-Katachi' series, where absence becomes structure and heritage is re-embodied through material paradox. Trained in both Kyoto metal-smithing apprenticeships and Berlin’s UdK experimental design labs, Kimura refuses binary thinking: his *washi*-infused resin isn’t ‘fusion’ but dialogue, where washi pulp’s fibrous memory interacts with UV-cured polymers that shift hue at precise humidity thresholds. His 2023 solo exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo featured wearable pieces activated by wearer’s breath condensation, triggering micro-etchings to emerge on oxidized silver, a literal embodiment of *mono no aware* made kinetic. This isn’t ornamentation; it’s slow, tactile philosophy worn on the body.
