  • Bamboo (Madake), rattan

  • Flower Bud was made right before Okada set off as an independent artist and left his mentor, Jin Morigami. The work exemplifies his mind at that time as though a flower petal is blooming. Flower Bud was awarded the Oita prefectural governor prize at Lifestyle with Bamboo Art Crafts Exhibition, 2016.
