The artist, who has always admired the splendid beauty of the Rinpa school, has reproduced the elegance and elegance of Ogata Korin's masterpiece "Red and White Plum Blossoms Screen" in a modern glass art style. This is a masterpiece that shows the highest level of workmanship, with countless red and white plum blossoms dancing gracefully and decorated with abundant gold and silver leaf. The artist was fascinated by the world of beauty created by Tawaraya Sotatsu and Ogata Korin in the Edo period, and was the person who led the "Rinpa" school to the world of glass art, and this work also contains the gorgeous and seductive worldview of the Rinpa school. The sight of red and white plum blossoms fluttering about in a fantastical space dazzlingly decorated with gold and silver is a work that proudly displays "Japanese beauty" to the world.
