About the Artwork

The round form of the flower vessel represents the sky. In the vessel, I used inlays to portray the sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom, with flower petals scattering as the wind blows. The sight of the forest from the top of a small mountain was very peaceful, with a refreshing springtime atmosphere. I could feel myself immersed in nature.
