Preparation:

1. Cut a 1.5-2 inch long piece from a small long white daikon radish and peel.
2. Shave the sides slightly to narrow the piece. Cut a thin petal with the knife tip.
3. Make deep cuts to remove the flesh from under the petal. Shave to narrow the side of the flower to make another petal. Carve out 3-4 petals all around.
4. Carve out another row of the same pattern of petals between the petals of the outer row. Carve out the petals all around to finish the carving.
