About the Artwork
I was inspired by the Buddhist memorial service "Shunie" held at the Nigatsudo Hall of Todaiji Temple.
The camellia on the top, "Norikoboshi", is the flower offered at the memorial service.
Inside the box, I also designed "a lady in blue clothes" and a "black and white cormorant", both related to the Shunie.

Techniques Used
Overglaze enamel
Overglaze enamel decorations (iro-e, literally “colored pictures”) are achieved by applying designs to the surface of already glazed and fired porcelain. The decorations are painted over the glaze, and the piece is fired again at a low temperature of approximately 800℃. The pigments used in traditional overglaze decorations are known as wa enogu (“Japanese paints”) and offer a palette of colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. Overglaze enameling may also be done with Western pigments (yō enogu).
