Keisuke serizawa biography of rory

Serizawa was a master of not only dyeing but many other art forms, and his richness of style was loved by many. Serizawa Keisuke Art and Craft Museum is situated in the 2nd building of the Kunimi campus of Tohoku Fukushi University, and it consists of six exhibition rooms on the first, 5th and 6th floors. Within the collection, there are about pieces by Keisuke Serizawa, and about 10, stencils which were essential for his creations.

Another characteristic of the museum is, that it owns and displays a collection of folk art which Serizawa had collected from around the world.

Designer and illustrator Rory Hutton talks about the inspiration for his lino-cut, handmade designs.

In order to display the huge collection, the museum changes the exhibits three to four times a year, and displays the pieces according to certain themes. Serizawa had a deep relationship with the Tohoku region. He was devoted to replace the value of folk craft that existed in the everyday life of the Japanese as well as those items which had not been regarded as artistically valuable.

He visited potteries in Tohoku, encountered the cultural climate of the snow country, and loved visiting the town of Sendai and Naruko Onsen. And it was his own wish for a museum in Tohoku to display pieces of his work. The works in the Serizawa Keisuke Art and Craft Museum lauded their beauty quietly, even after several decades.
