Onishi Gallery is a con­tem­po­rary art gallery in New York that presents works by artists from Japan and from other Asian nations. Founder Nana Onishi worked as a cura­tor in Japan, Italy, and New York before launch­ing the gallery in Chelsea in 2005. Onishi Gallery has fast become a favored venue for encoun­ter­ing con­tem­po­rary art of vis­i­bly Asian roots. Its exhi­bi­tions span a diver­sity

of media, includ­ing new explo­rations in tra­di­tional art forms, as well as ambi­tious exper­i­men­ta­tion in new formats.

In Kansh*tsu,“ dry lacquer” technique, first a clay form is created and plaster is used to take a mold of the form, then repeated layers of h**p cloth and lacquer are applied to the mold until they are built up to the desired thickness. At last the mold is removed and additional coats of lacquer are applied to finish the piece.
The h**p fibers are strengthened when the lacquer bonds with them.
