About the Artwork

A small chest of drawers made of jindai cedar wood.
I used openwork of ebony wood for the decoration. The round decorations are inlays of tin and white-lipped pearl oyster. I also made the metal fitting that can be locked using copper alloy.
When the front is opened, there are four drawers in total; two drawers on the upper row and two drawers on the lower row.

Techniques Used

Wood joinery

In wood joinery (sashimono), wood boards are cut into panels with care to how the grain patterns will fit together in the final piece. The wooden panels are then cut or carved to create interlocking joints. These joints, which are the key feature of wood joinery, make it possible to connect boards at right angles to produce boxes and other articles. Wood joinery is assembled without the use of nails or any other metal hardware.
