About the Artwork
I made these vessels trying to make the most of the horse chestnut wood with beautiful wood grain.
I formed the vessels into the shape of camellias using the wood turning and hollowing techniques.
On the low side of the vessel, I inlayed a silver line as an accent, and finished with wiped urushi lacquer.

Techniques Used
Hollow work
In hollow work (kurimono), gouges and chisels are used to hand-carve hollow vessels from a block of wood. Complicated curves and rounded forms are a common feature of hollow work.
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.
