About the Artwork

Moonflower
When I walked on the some side road. I found some flower that tangled around the fence. I liked that was illuminated by streetlight.
I want to express the life force of the moonflower blooming at night.

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.
