Wipe-lacquered Japanese Horse Chestnut with Maki-e and Inlaid Mother of Pearl
I used wipe-lacquering to bring out the beauty of this Japanese horse chestnut with its wavy grain and then created a bold design using inlaid mother of pearl.
I wanted to create a sense of beauty using only natural materials.
