No.124/Visiting the Atelier of Contemporary Artist Ken Kagami—So-en Editor's Diary
So-en editor visits contemporary artist Ken Kagami's atelier, contrasting its maximalist clutter with his minimalist home.Summary
This article details a visit by Editor A from *So-en* magazine to the atelier of contemporary artist Ken Kagami for the series "That Person's Thrilling Collection Log." Upon entering the atelier, the editor was met with a mountain of objects—including numerous Kokeshi dolls, various stuffed animals, and conceptual crafts made from toilet paper rolls and instant noodle cups—creating a highly maximalist environment. In stark contrast, Kagami's adjacent home was spacious, filled with natural light, and featured a simple, comfortable design with subdued furniture colors. Kagami manages this contrast by working intensely in his atelier in the mornings and returning home for lunch, effectively switching between work and rest. The article encourages readers to check the latest issue of *So-en* to see what specific items Kagami chose to feature from his treasure trove.
