〇作者メッセージ
　洛北の庭とは我が家の庭です。春を告げる最初の花、ユキワリイチゲが久々に花を咲かせました。消えてしまったと思っていたのが何年も地中で力を蓄えていたことに、何とも言えぬ命の力と不思議を感じます。

■技法説明　型絵焼箔の作品について
　作品の一部もしくは全面に純銀箔を押し、そこに型紙を置いてその切り抜かれた形を硫化・変色させ、絵を浮かび上がらせるものです。仕上げに膠と顔料により僅かな彩色を施しています。このような作品表現を他に見た事はありませんので日本唯一かも知れませんが、確認はしていません。

〇 Artist message
Rakuhoku garden is the garden of my house. The first flower that heralds spring, Yukiwariichige, has bloomed for the first time in a while. I feel the power and wonder of life that cannot be described in words that the flowers that I thought had disappeared had accumulated power in the ground for many years.

■ Technique explanation: About the work of sheet metal
A sterling silver foil is pressed on a part or the entire surface of the work, a pattern is placed on it, and the cut out shape is sulfurized and discolored to make the picture stand out. The finish is slightly colored with glue and pigments. I have never seen such a work expression, so it may be the only one in Japan, but I have not confirmed it.
