鎌倉彫 三橋鎌幽
Kamakura-bori Artisan Kenyu Mitsuhashi
鎌倉彫の技を基盤に、禅の思想を可視化するかたちとして現れた作品群。木を彫る痕跡は時間と存在の層を浮かび上がらせ、一字の造形は静けさを形にする。これは装飾ではなく、空間そのものを変容させる装置であり、観る者に内なる省察を促す。彫る行為を通して「今ここ」の感覚を結晶させる表現である。(三橋鎌幽）

This is a series of works based on the techniques of Kamakura-bori carving, manifesting as a visualization of Zen philosophy. The traces of carving in the wood reveal layers of time and existence, while the form of a single character gives shape to tranquility. This is not mere decoration, but an apparatus that transforms the space itself, prompting inner reflection in the viewer. It is an expression that crystallizes the sense of the “here and now” through the act of carving.（Kenyu Mitsuhashi）

三橋鎌幽
Kenyu Mitsuhashi
Born into the 800-year lineage of Kamakura-bori, with roots tracing back to Kamakura Busshi (Buddhist sculptors). Familiar with wood and lacquer from a young age, he later took on the creation of Buddhist ritual objects and tea utensils for Zen temples. At the age of 30, he was bestowed the artist name “Kenyu” by Roshi Shōdō Yoshida, the Abbot of Kenchō-ji Temple.
Connecting traditional crafts with the spirit of Zen in a contemporary context, he holds solo exhibitions in Japan and abroad, including in Paris. Grounded in tradition, he approaches “carving” as a philosophical act, pursuing an expression that inscribes the essence of time and existence.
