Kodo's greatest characteristic is his wide range of color expression. Originally, lacquer colors were limited to five colors: vermilion, black, yellow, green, and brown, but Kodo was one of the earliest artists to adopt the new material lake pigments, and produced works that made full use of difficult intermediate colors and vivid colored lacquer. He has significantly expanded the range of color expression with lacquer, and his innovative design sense continues to fascinate viewers. The design features a round rabbit.
