About the Artwork

I used the vertical and horizontal horse chestnut wood grain to resemble the swaying of music. I created a soft design with many curves to express the image of music by using the kentai technique, which is winding up thin wood straps. I expressed the spreading music with the inlay and lightness with the high pedestal.

Techniques Used

Wood joinery

In wood joinery (sashimono), wood boards are cut into panels with care to how the grain patterns will fit together in the final piece. The wooden panels are then cut or carved to create interlocking joints. These joints, which are the key feature of wood joinery, make it possible to connect boards at right angles to produce boxes and other articles. Wood joinery is assembled without the use of nails or any other metal hardware.
