Aogai-nuri is a Takaoka raden technique in which a layer of mother-of-pearl in the shell is thinly cut out and
used to create beautiful patterns and designs that sparkle in seven hues.
The shells are so thinly shaved that you can see through them when they are held up to the light,
making them sparkle in seven hues, and the black background accentuates the vivid blue color.
The gentle curve of the handle is decorated with a cherry blossom pattern, which represents beginnings and abundance.
Each petal reflects the light at a different angle, creating a beautiful sparkle.
Carefully made by craftspeople, the cherry blossom petals shine with
an everlasting light of seven hues, and no two are the same.
Each time you use the brush, it emits a new sparkle
in a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with its changing look.
