JAPANESE ART PAPER 'THE MESSENGERS' 50x50cm

Handmade ART PAPER that I made in a paper mill in Japan
Size 50x50cm
"The Messengers"
Paperwork is magic! I learned to make Japanese papers in a paper mill in Japan, "Fujimori papermill". I developed a very personal technique. I'm starting to prepare my images:  images painted with pigments on Japanese paper. Afterwards, during the creation of the papers, I include the images layer by layer in the paper, between the fibers. To make Japanese paper, we build the paper little by little in the tatami, with a little fiber each time. 
I therefore have in my papers images on the surface and others inside, completely integrated into the papers.
The image that I have integrated here is a wood engraving with three faces, for me "wise men" or oracles and the image is to help you travel and inspire you with the richness of different cultures.
The fibers when used are kozo, fibers much longer than for making Western papers, and therefore perfect for decorative papers.
A unique work of art!
