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.

Comment on Award
The flowers of Solomon's seal blooming casually in the corner of an old temple's grounds where I often stroll around. I was charmed by the way their unique white-spotted leaves were overlapping one another and used it as a motif for this piece. I depicted the three-dimensional leaves of the Solomon's seals growing quietly in the shade on the inside and outside of the box made of magnolia wood using makie techniques using matte gold powder.
I am very honored and grateful to receive this encouraging award. Thank you very much.
