About the Artwork

Seeing daffodils, one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, blooming, I felt the end of the long winter. I also expressed the scene of butterflies flying around as if they couldn't wait for the arrival of spring.

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.
