life Painting

About me: Drawing a picture on paper. I was interested in the part of the paper, and I thought that if I could create and express myself from paper, I could create a new expression where the charm of paper and the charm of drawing were fused, and I learned paper making while working as a craftsman of Washi for about six years. During these six years, I learned a lot about the knowledge and techniques of Washi making and the possibilities of expression. On the other hand, the demand for paper media is decreasing due to the recent digitalization, and the number of companies and artisans with skills of Washi is decreasing. I felt the fact that Washi, one of Japan's traditional crafts, is in danger of being passed on to the future. Through my work, I would like to explore the possibilities of expression that only Washi possesses and the allure of Washi, and I would like to express those possibilities through my artwork. I hope that the technique and culture of handmade Washi will be known to various people, and I hope that the culture of Washi will be developed in order to be needed in the future. About my work: The motif of this painting is the stump. I was very interested in the fact that the tree has had various stories over the decades, and yet the proof of its existence remains as an annual ring. This is because it is one of the questions I will keep asking myself throughout my life, such as the difficulty and importance of accumulating time and creating something. This paper is composed of several natural elements. The pattern is created by mixing black and white dyed mulberry and pulp with the flow of water. The three-dimensional pattern is created by dropping water directly onto the paper. Visually show the fibers of plants, the raw material of paper. By drawing annual rings of years on Japanese paper, which has a unique charm that can only be created by making it from paper, I have strongly expressed my way of thinking about my work and my own way of life. About the material: The material used in paper is the fiber of mulberry, which is the representative of the raw material of Japanese paper, and a pulp of coniferous tree and a deciduous tree. The material used in drawing is ink.
