Japanese Collection: Octopus Découpage Wooden box

My Japanese Collection decoupage made from vintage Japanese block prints, pictures. and kimono designs. I love Japanese design as I lived there for several years when I was younger.
New wooden box and the patten is self printed onto sumi rice paper it’s a copy of a wood block design of an Octopus. Paper round the side stylised Japanese wave patten. Inside white paint and all finished with high gloss varnish to give it a lacquered look.

In Japanese culture, the Octopus, is a powerful symbol of high intelligence, transformation, regeneration and resourcefulness. The Octopus has excellent adaptability and flexibility in movement, and can be a symbol of one’s ability to navigate through life’s challenges and to be flexible in one’s approach.
