He is highly regarded for his works that make the most of the characteristics of various woods such as zelkova, mulberry, maple, and black persimmon. He is also a great woodworker who has been involved in the restoration of treasures such as those in the Shosoin Repository. This piece is truly characteristic of Ryozo Kawakita, making the most of the natural wood grain. The beautiful wood grain stands out, and the overwhelming finish, thanks to the artist's high level of skill, is simply astounding. 【Item No.】 No. 65
