About My Washi Art...
"My Washi Art is prepared by hand-made Japanese rice paper call Washi which have unique fibers and characteristic textures. I tear them into pieces using fingers to make fuzzy-outlines which naturally creates delicate and graceful expressions, completing my work on paper without any oil or color paints at all.
I dedicated to training myself to create my own style in the Art World. I have been truly fascinated with the feeling of Washi. It always brings a healing air into the core of my heart.
I believe that my meeting with Washi was a fortunate encounter for my life." ...Tomomi
