“Shakudo” is a Japanese type of metal, which includes copper and a little amount of gold. This shakudo becomes dark black when it is oxidized. Noble metal have been polished and used as decorations abroad. However, the metal is soon oxidized in Japan because of high humidity. Taking advantage of this, Japanese people have utilized this characteristic of metal, and enjoyed the natural colors created by the oxidation. This time, I created accessories by the traditional way. Even when you polish them, they will be black again by oxidation. I hope you will enjoy looking at the changing colors.

※赤銅とは
銅に1%の金が入っており、酸化することで黒(濃茶)になる銅です
この為こちらの作品は変色防止等は施しておりません
自然に変化していく色をお楽しみください
また磨いても赤銅は再び酸化していくことで黒(濃茶)になります
海外では貴金属は磨いてピカピカにして装飾品として利用してきました
しかし日本では湿気が多く、金属の酸化が早いので逆にこれを利用し、酸化して出る自然な色を楽しんだのです
この伝統技法を利用したアクセサリーを提案します
