Using chisels and planes on blocks of wood, Tohru Matsuzaki has crafted a smooth miniature shrine. Coated layer by layer in lacquer, the brilliant vermillion red, a color of vibrant life, surrounds the hand painted silver center of the shrine. Both colored lacquers shimmer and dance in the light, bringing light, luck, love, and peace into the home.
