Traditional beauty in full bloom

This brightly colored copperware, colored using the ni-iro technique, shines with intricate gold and silver work. Simply having it close to hand, one can almost smell the fragrance of flowers and hear the twittering of birds. This is a work of art with a lovely appearance and a sense of beauty backed by high-level traditional techniques.
