Produced by skilled artisans in Ishikawa, Japan, using techniques officially recognized as a Traditional Craft of Japan since 1977, these panels are based on the iconic artwork of Matazo Kayama, one of the most influential figures in modern Japanese painting. The work was faithfully realized under the supervision of Kayama Customs Co., Ltd., preserving the original artistic vision of the late master.

Through the expressive use of metallic leaf—a medium pioneered by Matazo Kayama—this piece captures the dynamic beauty of vividly rendered cranes and the rhythmic wave motifs (Hato-mon), creating a refined yet powerful, dreamlike atmosphere unique to gold leaf art.

The layered surfaces, composed of brass leaf, colored leaf, and silver leaf, offer depth and luminosity that cannot be achieved with paint. Whether displayed together as a complete five-panel installation or arranged individually, these panels make a sophisticated statement for gallery settings, luxury residences, and refined interior spaces.
