About the Artwork

A small chest of drawers made of jindai cedar wood.
For the platform, I used thick reeds and thin reeds alternately for the decoration. The thin reeds are 2mm wide and in the middle I added a 0.5mm wide inlay of white-lipped pearl.
When the front is opened. there are four drawers. The drawer on the bottom is the largest, and the drawers get smaller towards the top. I also designed and made the metal fittings myself using copper alloy and silver.

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.
