Cigar Long KINGFISHER

The motif is a kingfisher flying over a field of reeds.
The base is painted black with a gold gradation from the center outward. By scattering flat gold powder on the top and raden on the bottom, it might look like the starry sky is reflected on the water surface. The kingfisher is vividly painted using colored urushi lacquer and gold powder. The reeds are drawn with gold and black urushi lacquer to give them some depth. The color of the kingfisher stands out against the gold and black, creating a very beautiful finish.
