About the Artwork

Camphor trees shed their leaves from spring through summer to save their strength to sprout new leaves. As I like the contrast of the falling red leaves and the young green leaves that can be seen in spring, I used this as the motif for the design of this piece.

Techniques Used

Kinma

There are three basic variations of kinma based on the method used for cutting the motifs: line cutting, dot cutting, and a combination of the two. All three types use a special carving blade known as a kinma ken. Originally, kinma only consisted of motifs made of incised lines. However, by combining a variety of colored lacquers and cutting techniques, the art has lent itself to increasingly complex designs.
