Lily
Lilies have long been admired for their slender stems and large flowers, their Japanese name ‘yuri’ comes from the word meaning to sway as the lily does in the breeze. There is a Japanese saying used to describe a woman’s beauty “She sits and stands a peony and walks a lily”
Shibuichi is an alloy of silver and copper which can be treated to develop a grey patina.
