About the Artwork
"Jindai" wood is wood that has been in the ground for more than 700 years and has a unique dark color.
I made a tray with such Jindai wood. I decorated the inner side of the rim with dot patterns using a knife, and the whole rim with chinkin, inlaying gold powder into the natural wood grain.

Techniques Used
Wood turning
In wood turning (hikimono), a piece of wood is rotated on a lathe and shaped with various cutting tools. Wood turning is suited to the creation of round trays, containers, and bowls. Different blades and cutting angles can be used to produce a wide range of forms. Balanced, symmetrical forms are made by spinning the lathe at a constant speed.
