  • He was inspired by Japanese woodblock prints and artists like Katsushika Hokusai.
  • His work is characterized by nature-inspired themes, such as irises, cherry blossoms, and insects, and he developed techniques like "glass marquetry" to achieve intricate designs. 

Approximate measurements: The approximate dimensions of the vase are 10 inches in height, 9 inches in length, and 1.5 inches in width.
