About the Artwork
I used the kiku-tsunagi (interlocking chrysanthemum) patterns, the pinnacle of traditional Japanese beauty, on the whole piece, making this a culmination of artisanal skills.
The kiku-tsunagi patterns are a symbol of long life, good health, and honorableness. This is a perfect piece for those who love the Japanese traditional culture.
Kiku-tsunagi patterns are usually used partially in designs, but I used it on the whole glass and delicately cut the patterns to the smallest detail.
