Hana to Tako
A fusion of traditional Japanese art and handcrafted modern woodcraft, Hana to Tako captures the elegant mystery of an octopus drifting through stylized waves and cherry blossoms. This mixed-media piece is laser-cut and meticulously hand-painted, layered in vibrant hues of crimson, indigo, and blush.
Created in Ojai, California, the design evokes both motion and tranquility, with tentacles gracefully weaving through blooming sakura and cloudlike waves inspired by Edo-era woodblock prints. Each layer is cut from birch, blondewood, and basswood, adding dimension and richness through the natural texture of the wood grain. The piece is framed in rough-sawn cedar, stained a deep natural tone to contrast with the brightly colored elements and complete the composition.
Dimensions: 17.5" x 24"
Materials: Birch ply, Basswood ply, Blondewood ply, Cedar, Acrylic paint, Stain
