Description:
Artist Statement: "There are many things other than chadogu that are needed for a tea ceremony. ”Kakejiku” is one such item. “Kakejiku” are hung on the walls of the tea room and represent the seasons. I tried to express the “kakejiku” of spring, summer, and autumn using grapes as a motif. In spring, the flowers bloom, in summer the grapes bear fruit, and in autumn the leaves turn red. The grape blossoms in spring are so beautiful that I enlarged them."
