This image of a rabbit on a black-lacquer tray set against a backdrop of plum blossoms was designed by Yabu Chosui as a New Year’s message of poetry and art. The rabbit refers to the tradition of forming a rabbit out of snow at the New Year. Chosui succeeded in realizing the soft contours of a snow figure by embossing the rabbit using the kimekomi technique.
