Black plays J2. If white tries to escape with D1, Black plays C2 and so on. So only choice for white is to cut at J3. Than black invests one more stone at K3 creating a fancy clump. White then wins the capturing race with the clump, but after the capture black can play an ichi no shita at J2 capturing a living shape.

Nice fancy clump, but after you play J2, can white do something further?
