日本当代雕版大师Ray Morimura，他对古**俗和神道的信仰，崇敬和神化的性质可以更好的了解他的作品，包含现代和传统风格，创造出一个独特的观点。

Throughout its long history, Japanese wood block printing developed various styles and schools of thought. One such style which Morimura Ray particularly works within is Ukiyo-e which literally translates as “pictures of the floating world”. In these types of visual stories, landscapes and tales from history and the theatre are favored which is in sharp contrast to many of his contemporaries which favor a more abstract style.

Morimura creates limited editions of 50 prints on thin paper. His work does not look contemporary; it resembles the illustrations found in old fairy tale books. The colors are flat and strong and his work conveys day-to-day activities in a direct, simple way. Ray’s largest influences were earlier Japanese woodblock print masters Shigeru Hatsuyama [1897-1973] and Sumio Kawakami [1895-1972].

左迹手作产品设计简约舒适，给人一种淡然、简约温润 恬静的感觉，不规整的木色纹路表现出相同的美感，再加上一些手工雕凿刀痕，使整个作品都充满了生命的气息。老子曾经讲过:大巧若拙、返璞归真。自古以来木工手工艺一直散发着艺术的魅力，中国木工传统手工艺起源甚早，把木工发展到一种审美阶段——融入了创作者的现代观念、思维、精神，并能激发审美对象的审美情感。
