About the Artwork
The base of the tea caddy is Japanese cherry birch wood, and the base of the teaspoon is kanshitsu (dry lacquer). I applied washi (Japanese traditional paper) on both of them at the end to bring out the texture of washi.
I used various stamps and colored lacquer to stamp on the patterns.

Techniques Used
Dry lacquer
For works of dry lacquer (kanshitsu), first a clay form is created and plaster is used to take a mold of the form. Next, repeated layers of hemp cloth and lacquer are applied to the mold until they are built up to the desired thickness. Finally, the mold is removed and additional coats of lacquer are applied to finish the piece. The hemp fibers are strengthened when the lacquer bonds with them, making dry lacquer an excellent technique for creating sturdy forms with a significant degree of freedom.
