@@@@Lamplight@Receptacle@(Japanese style lamp) @@I learned the forging Iron formative art in Italy and have made many artistic @@objects in Japan.@@Once, I came across the lamplight receptacle of qnr`mihm. @@That style's lamplight receptacle is called as `mcnm. @@The old Andons are wonderful in the rough-cut given by a graver, the look of @@being corroded by rust,@and the feeling.@@@Finding that an Andon and the @@forging Iron formative art have some points@in common, I began to make @@original Andons with traditional techniques both Japan and Italy. @@Andons began to be produced in the dcn era. @Since then, a great number of @@Andons have been produced. @To keep an Andon from being rusty, they gave it @@a coat of lacquer, which technique armorers used.@@@@Instead of lacquer, I @@gave a coat of beeswax to a Iron Andon in order to give @it a rusty color of real @@Iron and the impression of Iron corroded by rusty. @@The coat of beeswax is the @@technique I had learned@in Italy. @@I made Andons of rusty and weathering Iron, not new glittering one, to give an @@Andon an old-look and@ a quiet inner glow.@@@@An old-looking Andon makes @@much more presence and time felt than new one.@@@For me, weathering means @@"rusty" and "lonely", what is called, "SABI" in Japanese. @@Light coming out from a fire bag when cutting it with a graver,@Iron frame- @@worked Andon looking like@a shadow picture with a light behind it.@@@When I @@was young, I had happy times seeing the beautiful full moon at night, which @@memories are unforgettable for me.@@@When seeing Iron Andons, I get the @@feeling of Japanese's admiration for lamps and relief given by lamps' light. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Forging Iron Formative Art @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@Masayuki@Takazawa @
