About the Artwork

I imagined drifting water from the quilted wood grain patterns in the white maple wood, and thought of a gentle design with many curved lines to express the image of water. I used the waxing technique to emphasize the white color of the wood.

Techniques Used

Wood joinery

In wood joinery (sashimono), wood boards are cut into panels with care to how the grain patterns will fit together in the final piece. The wooden panels are then cut or carved to create interlocking joints. These joints, which are the key feature of wood joinery, make it possible to connect boards at right angles to produce boxes and other articles. Wood joinery is assembled without the use of nails or any other metal hardware.
