[Yuzen Dyeing x Nishinouchi Washi] A long-awaited collaboration of Japan's proud traditional crafts!
Mr. Osamu Ishiyama, a Yuzen dyeing artist, plunged into the world of Yuzen dyeing alone at the age of 20 and has continued on this path for over half a century, creating his own unique designs.Mr. Daisuke Kikuchi, a handmade Japanese paper craftsman, was born into a family of artisans that has continued for generations. He still cultivates the raw material, kozo (mulberry paper), and makes Japanese paper by hand in the mountains of Ibaraki.
This book cover is the result of the combined skills of these two artisans.It's okay even if it gets a little wet; just dry it. The material develops character with use.
Please enjoy it as a companion for your reading.
《Commitment to Design》
At first glance, the design appears modern, seemingly far removed from "traditional Japanese crafts."This is precisely the "reverence for life" and "expression of the soul" that Mr. Ishiyama, who has continued to engage with traditional crafts born from nature, has arrived at.It takes 5 to 6 years to complete a single design. Each motif, refined to the extreme, expresses the power of life that he has felt and experienced throughout his intense life.Within the chaos where he has questioned his own existence, fusing his self with the spirit of tradition amidst the fleeting moments of birth and disappearance and the breath of nature, Mr. Ishiyama's soul is etched.
