About the Artwork

I came up with this creative design from a vision that appeared in my dream, which I drew in my notebook.

The spiral-shaped swirl design looks simple, but it is crafted with meticulous care, as it is gradually sloping to create a flowing vortex.

This exquisite combination is what makes this a piece that captivates the viewers.
While cherishing the essence of Japanese culture, it also exudes a unique modern atmosphere.
