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.

I think about a story from the appearance of the wood grain, and I create my artwork based on that story.
