Detail
Tradition and Innovation
This ink painting measures over 10 meters long on a single sheet of Japanese washi paper, transcending the usual notion of handmade washi. Kawahara can integrate any material into washi, and for this work, he has transformed an electronic circuit board into washi and rendered the back of the moon in ink. This is a radically new approach to traditional Japanese craft. This new ink painting, over 10 meters long, is a must-see.
