Cigar Long DRAGONFLY in THE SUNSET SKY

The dragonfly which has been considered as an auspicious pattern that brings a good luck since ancient times is drawn. The image is that the red sky at sunset expressed by vermillion urushi lacquer and the dragonfly flies in that madder red sky. Vermilion is considered as a presious color represent of sun, fire, and life and has been used respectedly. To express a sunset view, I placed a kinhirame and sprinkled gold and platinum powder to create a pattern that resembled evening clouds. The body of dragonfly is drawn by taka maki-e techinique with gold lacquer, its compound eyes are expressed with kinhirame, and the wings are finished with raden.
