Window in the Sky
I made this piece so that people could feel the beautyof black lacquer, gold Maki-e, and inlaid mother of pearl.
Maki-e and inlaid mother of pearl are said to have been established in the Nara Period (710 to 784).
I used these techniques, which have been faithfully passed down through the generations, to skillfullycreate shapes and designs that are not typical of traditional lacquerware.
