brief comment
A fan “Oughi” supports the expression of the elegant emotion of Japanese poetry. Furthermore, by using a “tugigami” like this work, the expression becomes even richer.
A tsugigami is basically a paper made by pasting together pieces of some kinds of paper that have been cut or torn. It is possible to create paper with a variety of atmospheres by combining colors and the shape of fragments. It is a traditional technique used in gorgeous old calligraphy, such as the “Nishi Honganji Book Thirty-Six Houses Collection”.
For kana-sho calligrapher, it is exciting to use the tugigami. It would be nice to be able to use such tsugami easily, so I took up the challenge of making tsugami this time.
