Paper painting

-Composition spelled out on paper-

 

 

Use only paper

A mixture of paper-cutting, chigiri-e（Collage of pieces of colored paper）and Japanese paper collage.

​

It is expressed by a unique technique.

 

No paint or pencil case required.

Paper becomes paint

The blade (knife) becomes a brush.

We mainly use Japanese unique WASHI=Japanese paper.

Adjust the color by stacking ultra-thin paper that is only available in Japan.

​

Other vivid Chiyogami patterns

Incorporating the color of uneven dyed Japanese paper,

We are enhancing the elegant texture.

 

Then, by coloring and assembling each part, it becomes three-dimensional.

 

Washi is not a single item

Due to differences in production area, raw materials, and manufacturing method

There are a wide variety of types and uses.

 

Fascinated by the "breath" of the climate

To draw it as a respected "material"

It is also a conversation with a self who loves hometown and culture.

​

Pursuing expressions that have never been seen before, without being bound by existing things

If you can create a work that will also color the hearts of the viewer

I am the happiest.
