About the Artwork
Silver leaf is applied onto the red glass from the inside and is covered with transparent glass. 12 double rings are cut on the sides and a chrysanthemum is carved in the middle. Above and below these double ring patterns, are the most intricate kiriko patterns called kiku tsunagi which look like a chain of chrysanthemums. You can see the connection between the light and glass from the patterns reflected on the floor when lighted.
