"Sekka" Maki-e
Why is snowflake written “flower of snow”
The snowflakes are gorgeous
They dance in the air and fall from above,
as if flowers are falling
Hexagonal snowflakes were already recorded in the Edo period
This fact is astonishing, that they have been observed and patterned since the days when there were no lenses
That’s why the richness of this icy substance attracts so many people’s minds
I couldn’t help drawing it
It’s not that it would sell, if I drew it
It’s because it’s such a wonderful and interesting world
A picture that reflects nature does not only show the present that is right in front of us
It can expand the world
You can imagine a different world
For those who know about snow, and for those who live in places without snow
Through the flowers of snow, the richness of the snow is conveyed
A moment of beauty of the nature that fascinates everyone is locked in this flowers of snow maki-e
