Hana-Yukiwa "Yaegasumi" (Layered Mist)
A piece where black snowflake patterns emerge quietly
against a soft, unbleached fabric background.
The snowflake (yukiwa) is a classic motif that stylizes
the scene of falling or accumulated snow into a circle.
It evokes purity and tranquility, and has long been
cherished as an auspicious pattern.
The outer edge is layered with a double-cherry blossom (yaezakura) motif,
giving it an appearance that is both vibrant and composed.
The yaezakura, which blooms with layers of petals,
is a floral motif that conveys richness and elegance.
Unbleached, black, and double-cherry blossoms.
The beauty of each element harmonizes to create
a quiet splendor, like cherry blossoms blooming in the mist.
The curves of the snowflake depicted through paper appliqué
and the delicate pattern of yaezakura coloring the outer rim.
A piece possessing the grace and vibrancy characteristic of Tsujikura.
