The Spring Series, meticulously crafted through a year-long journey of design, woodworking, and lacquering, finally emerges in all its glory. Within the seemingly repetitive rhythm of dragon-scale patterns lies intricate detail, a harmonious blend of solemnity and simplicity, alongside an ethereal dance of vitality. It exudes an elegance that is both resplendent and profound, yet refreshingly graceful.
With its just-right proportions and the ever-shining luster of urushi lacquer, the series embodies the artist's unwavering commitment to bringing the art of urushi back into our daily lives. As the vessels rest in our hands, through seasons and years, the finest among them fill the voids within our hearts, inspiring and uplifting us.
