This versatile artist knows no borders as he designs a unique chess set bearing multi-cultural stylizations. Vietnamese artistry decorates the pawns and Japanese the bishops. The rest of the chess pieces are decorated with ancient Javanese motifs. He transfers traditional batik techniques unto pule wood for the hand-crafting of this set, featuring classic patterns such as kawung, the eight-pointed rosette once reserved for sultans, and the parang or dagger, exclusive to the courts of Surakarta and Jogyakarta.
The chess board folds into a storage case featuring beautiful iron latches and handle. The box and the pieces are lined for protection.
