Abstract
A documentary film about the traditional Japanese art of Lacquer making, developed over the last 7,000 years. Japanese lacquer conveys images of shimmering gold, sumptuous surfaces, and delicate designs. The creation of lacquer ware involves a long laborious process. Beneath the exquisite surface (the “skin”) are many layers of applied lacquer sap (the “flesh”); below the “flesh” is the paper-thin wooden core (the “bone”). Bone, Flesh, Skin provides a detailed overview of this lacquer making process with painstaking care and patience.
