Remarks This was exhibited in the group exhibition “Shinshitsukai-ten”.
A total of 40 coats of colored urushi were applied, calculated to produce white and green stripe patterns between the yellowish green, and then I carved it.
I sprinkled gold powder on the four parts between the clovers.
The edge of the backside bottom of the tray is sprinkled with kanshitsu-powder (powdered hardened urushi) to prevent scratching, and then coated with black urushi.
