I think about a story from the appearance of the wood grain, and I create my artwork based on that story.
View DetailAbout the Artwork
I imagined a raging storm and flashing lightening from the natural color of Jindai cedar and the intricate jagged and pointed wood grain that look like bamboo leaves. I designed the piece to make the wood grain stand out, and expressed the severe storm with the firm ridge line. I expressed lightening with rosewood inlay and formed the rosewood pedestal like a dish to make the coffer look as if it were floating.
