To be closer to the original artwork, we carefully depicted by merging modern technology and craftsmanship.
The most impressing part of the flowing water was finished with silver leaf and oxidized silver leaf which is considered to be used at that time.
The trunk of the red and white plum trunks is painted with Japanese ink painting and the pigments, so the gold leaf could be see-through from the background. The stem part of the trunk is painted using the pigments called Ryokushou(copper rust green).
The petals of the red and white plum blossoms without the outline is painted by the overpainting with the pigments.
