About the Artwork

A food box made of rare, beautiful black persimmon wood.
I tried to make a box to harmonize the beautiful black persimmon and faintly shining mother-of pearl inlay.
I used Bombay black wood at the joining part of the cover and container and made thin lines of red sandalwood and maple inside so that people would feel excited when opening the box.

Techniques Used

Wood turning

In wood turning (hikimono), a piece of wood is rotated on a lathe and shaped with various cutting tools. Wood turning is suited to the creation of round trays, containers, and bowls. Different blades and cutting angles can be used to produce a wide range of forms. Balanced, symmetrical forms are made by spinning the lathe at a constant speed.

Wood inlay

Wood inlay (moku zōgan) is a decorative technique in which wood, metal, or shell is inserted into cavities cut into a wooden substrate to produce contrasting designs.
