About the Artwork

I used motifs of plum blossoms for the design of the outside of the box in red, and also used plum blossom motifs on the inside in black.

Techniques Used

Kinma

There are three basic variations of kinma based on the method used for cutting the motifs: line cutting, dot cutting, and a combination of the two. All three types use a special carving blade known as a kinma ken. Originally, kinma only consisted of motifs made of incised lines. However, by combining a variety of colored lacquers and cutting techniques, the art has lent itself to increasingly complex designs.
