Sakura and Moon

Painted by calligraphy tools on raw silk canvas(80cm)Covered by naturaldyeing(Sakura,Madder,Pomegranate,mimosa etc) cotton/silk/hemp fabrics. These materials are waste from clothing industry i've been working By this project,I wanted to express invisible but most valuable "kokoro" which is translated as spirit or heart. The introspection I felt during the pandemic,gave birth to work that consider the value of invisible universal things that originally existing here. As Japanese tradition,seeing Sakura and Moon is especially emotional moment which makes us strongly aware of existing "kokoro".

Bio
Working as a kids/baby clothing designer.Grew up in Yamanashi,graduated fashion technical college in Sendai Japan. I usually design mass-production clothes but i used to concern and feel wrong about the waste from clothing industry. Especially during pandemic situation,Through a life of finding pleasure in nature without meeting anyone, I realized the importance and beauty of the natural environment. I want to make things that would be more beneficial to children than mass-produced children's clothes, so I started making art pieces.
