The central pillar of the outer box is not merely decorative; it serves to reinforce the box’s structure. I believe that decorative elements or shapes should carry meaning beyond decoration, serving both form and function.

I used the Hyomon technique (0.08 mm silver inlay) and Makie to depict the flower’s form. Side of the box, I applied a Kawarinuri pattern for added texture. The box itself is crafted from Japanese cypress, with the wood carved by plane as thin as 1 to 4 mm. I applied hemp cloth to the surface.
