太田 一永（おおた かずなが）
1979年生まれ。広島県福山市北部の山里で、主に獣害として駆除される野生の鹿や猪の革を素材に、創作活動を行う。住んでいる土地に咲く季節の植物を革に染め移し、自然が作り出す瑞々しい色柄で、山里の風景を写し留める作品を生み出している。日本各地で展示やクラフトフェアに出展し活動中。近年は台湾で行われた「蚤物市」にも参加。
 
Transferring the colors of plants that grow close at hand and the natural hues found in everyday life directly onto his work.
 
Kazunaga Ota
Born in 1979. Based in the mountain village of northern Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, Ota works primarily with the hides of wild deer and boar that have been culled as agricultural pests. Using seasonal plants gathered from his surroundings, he dyes the leather with patterns and colors created by nature itself, capturing the essence of the rural landscape. He actively exhibits his work across Japan at craft fairs and exhibitions.
