Sako Ryuhei (b. 1976), born in Okayama Prefecture, graduated from Hiroshima City University in the Department of Design and Applied Arts in 1999, and then earned his master's degree in 2002 from the same institution. Sako Ryuhei creates pieces using Mokume-gane, a Japanese metal technique dating back to the 17th century. First, very thin different colored alloyed metal sheets are layered and bonded. Then the layers are cut into, or drilled, and reworked. Achieving a successful lamination takes a very skilled artist, and although his work is based on research and experimentation using this tradition process, he manages to create very contemporary pieces. In 2004, he became a member of the Nihon Kōgeikai (Japanese Handcrafts Association) and in 2013, during his first exhibition outside Japan, the Victoria and Albert Museum purchased one of his pieces for their public collection.

BIG shout out to Riley McManus for creating these custom dishes for us!
Inspired by the technique of mokume gane, Riley layered colored clay bodies, added texture, and then carved through, revealing the layers.

Bracelet of blue and gold beads on a deep red cord
Custom blue and gold beaded bracelet on my wrist
Bit of a departure from my normal work but too pleased not to share.
Just finished my custom MKs from @aroundsquare.com. Hand-dyed cotton cord with blue, gold, and silver #titanium, and a beautiful #mokumegane end bead to cap it off.
Blessed and dedicated to #Ra and #Thoth. #prayer #beads #pagan

Tell me this #snappingturtle leather doesn't look like #dragon skin. Easily my favorite skin to do inlays with. I also made the push #dagger. Cu-mai steel with hand forged mokume gane handles. This was such a stunner!
