Chisel engraving
Chisel engraving (hori) consists of using engraving chisels to embellish the surface of metalwork. Techniques include standard hairline engraving (kebori) performed with a V-shaped chisel, wedge-shaped dot engraving (keribori) performed with a triangular chisel, and metal cutting (hatsuribori) performed with especially sharp flat chisels.

The technique of engraving metal using the traditional chasing technique "Hatsuri Tagane" is called "Hatsuri Bori". I try to express the wind, waves and energy to burst out into the sky and space using the "Hatsuri".
