The Dragon of Fire and Waves

From the meeting of fire and ocean, a dragon rises — forged in gold, born of storm and blaze. Its body coils through waves of molten light, a creature of fury and splendor. The background glows with gold and shattered shell, sealed beneath layers of colored urushi that burn like embers beneath the surface. The waves, sculpted in thick, raised lacquer, crest with platinum and Hirame gold powder, their white edges searing against the dark waters. The dragon, built in high relief, is covered in gold and flame-tinted hues, each scale alive with shifting brilliance. Its eyes, cut from abalone shell over silver foil, blaze with an otherworldly fire — a gaze that commands the elements themselves. The sea beneath it glows with translucent green and blue urushi, sharpened to clarity like tempered glass — as if light itself had been trapped and tamed. A testament to power and motion, The Dragon of Flame and Sea is where the elements collide and creation ignites — a vision of unending strength, born in gold and sealed in fire.
