About the Artwork
I have many plants in my garden. I especially like the form of the white bellflowers, and the way fireflies go inside the flowers is very interesting. Other than as a fresh water jar, this can also be used as a decorative box or accessory case.

Techniques Used
Maki-e
Maki-e (literally “sprinkled pictures”) is a representative lacquerware technique that originated in Japan around 1,200 years ago. Maki-e is done by painting lacquer motifs on the surface of a piece using a fine brush and then sprinkling gold powder onto the lacquer before it hardens, producing luxurious decorations.
