View allIn the course of the years, I have been interested in Japan's original and traditional color that is an UKIYOE print, paper made by Japanese original technique = WASHI,and Japanese own design "MONYOU" =pattern.
I think that MONYOU is the best cultural ambassador.Because MONYOU developed while coming and going many times between the Orient and the Occident.
While it was long time,MONYOU was only handling as a part of the decoration art. However, they are different. I think that MONYOU may be formed as a new concept in a field of the contemporary art.
Then, I tried to make own cutting artworks in 2003.
I began an act to dye Japanese traditional paper WASHI in various original colors, to draw many original patterns on the WASHI and to cut patterns.
When I dye a WASHI,I image a cloud.It may be skies or may be the ore.
When I design the MONYOU, I am conscious of Japonisme.
When I cut the WASHI, I centralize all nerve in the point of a sword of the design cutter.
By the way, I may let MONYOU and Japanese Calligraphy fuse. It is a concept with Japan's original taste that nobody does.
I believe my intuitive power and produce my joy.
Please enjoy my artworks and blogs.
