About the Artwork
I used abalone shells to express the design of a fusion of the lotus root and water. Lotus flowers are frequently used in designs, but I wanted to highlight the strong lotus root that supports the beautiful flower in the mud. (* The colors of the frame and mat may differ from the photo.)

Techniques Used
Mother-of-pearl inlay (Raden)
Mother-of-pearl inlay (Raden) is a decorative technique that uses the iridescent inner layer of abalone shell, turban shell, pearl oyster shell, or other mollusk shells. The technique came to Japan from China 1,300 years ago, and pieces featuring mother-of-pearl inlay are included among the artifacts at the Shōsōin Repository in Nara.
