The color palette is ink, the off-white of Japanese paper, vermilion, golden brown, and deep indigo, and the painting style is a Japanese-Western fusion that combines traditional Japanese ink painting with modern minimalist design. Pine branches appear to be drawn in ink against a background with the texture of Japanese paper, and small origami ornaments made from red Japanese paper are hung from the branches, with gold leaf scattered throughout. The composition beautifully expresses an asymmetrical balance that makes use of the white space, a calculated beauty reminiscent of the arrangement of stones in a Japanese garden, elements of traditional decorative knots such as mizuhiki and braided cords, the soft, diffused light of a lantern, and an oriental tranquility and dignity that harmonizes the spirit of wabi-sabi with modern, clean design, and a fusion of cultures as a new interpretation of Christmas in today's globalized world.
