The Burmese Petals design was inspired by works of traditional lacquer drawing styles by Panyun artists who themselves were inspired by the stories about the life of Buddha. Panyun is the art of making lacquer ware, a handicraft which produces materials made of bamboo, wood and thick black varnish. Tradition and continuity is what binds us; those who came before us, and those who will come long after we've lived our lives to the fullest. No matter how simple your traditions are, keep them alive.
