Sakura & Momiji

The attractiveness of a Zogan art is how its color changes depending on the angle of light. And to create such a piece of art, not only skills and art sense but great attention to detail is also required.

First, the pearls are cut into the desired motif. Then the craftsmen will carve the surface of the pen body in the exactly same size as the motif. Finally, the carved surface will be inlaid with cut pearls to finish the art.
