唐櫃 – 1000年の旅路
＜4K・52min.＞
宮彫り師・三代目南部白雲は、伝統工芸普及のため様々な活動やイベントを行ってきた。しかし、一過性のイベントやワークショップを繰り返すだけでは「うまく伝わらない」と感じはじめていた。
「物を作るのが職人の本分」という思いを胸に、彼は伝統工芸各分野の名人達と力を合わせて最高傑作を創る挑戦をはじめた。その制作対象は、高野山奥之院で毎朝、弘法大師空海に食事を届ける「唐櫃」。
１２００年以上続く高野山の伝統を担う唐櫃制作にあたり、「１０００年先の未来まで届く最高傑作」をスローガンに職人達が伝統の技術を結集させて挑んだ。
Miyabori artisan Nanbu Hakuun III has conducted various activities and events to promote traditional artistry. However, he felt that the temporary nature of events and workshops “did not get the message across.”
Strongly feeling that “a craftsman’s purpose is to create things,” he gathered master craftsmen from various fields of traditional artistry to create a single masterpiece. The object they aimed to create was a new karabitsu, a chest used to deliver food every morning to Kukai at the inner sanctuary of Mount Kōya.
Taking on the production of karabitsu, which is rooted in 1200 years worth of tradition, the craftsmen combine their skills with the goal of creating “a masterpiece that will last a1000 years.”
