In this work, the unique beauty of Japanese colored porcelain has been elevated to a new perfection of minute design, refining it to pass on to future generations. No matter how valuable a technique may be, it will not survive unless it stimulates people's aesthetic sensibilities and captivates their hearts. Hayama has studied flowers for many years - their colors having been impressed on his mind - and he has recreated them here without confining himself to any particular season.
