Techniques Used
Kinma
There are three basic variations of kinma based on the method used for cutting the motifs: line cutting, dot cutting, and a combination of the two. All three types use a special carving blade known as a kinma ken. Originally, kinma only consisted of motifs made of incised lines. However, by combining a variety of colored lacquers and cutting techniques, the art has lent itself to increasingly complex designs.

Comment on Award
I was moved by the gentle and pure appearance of a lotus blooming in the garden and made this piece.
Encouraged by this award, I will continue to work hard on creating artwork going forward. Thank you very much.
