Each piece is hand-painted and painted in layers of color. Each piece is carefully hand-painted to create the gentle expression and warmth of wood that are characteristic of Haibara's work, and the coloring gives it a gentle atmosphere.

The three-dimensional patterns of the armor are expressed in a way that can only be achieved through carving. The deep colors and warm atmosphere created by applying multiple layers of color are appealing.
