(Paper-colored picture) "HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE SHISAIGA?" |
Made by 1983 |
Artists' techniques are diverse, and I, an artist for more than 30 years, aspire to express beauty with what I think is the best coloring stuff. I changed conventional paints for colored Japanese paper more than ten years ago. How this unique coloring method will change the techniques of expression depends on my future research. I wish to produce a warm and appealing beauty with colored Japanese paper, which has elegance, depth and exquisiteness. Shisaiga does not discolor, because special glue is used for sizing.
