There are many beautiful things in Japanese culture that have been handed down from generation to generation. Nature, traditional crafts, and patterns all have their own meanings. It may be the language of flowers, a dove symbolizing peace, a turtle shell pattern wishing long life, or even the mizuhiki used for celebratory occasions. I believe that the feelings of consideration for others and wishes for safety that have taken root in Japan have been integrated into our daily lives in various ways. These things are expressed in Yoshi's works. Although his paper cutouts are simply cut from black paper, he does not use color, allowing the viewer to feel the work in his or her favorite color. The colors you feel may change depending on the time of year or the time of day. You can enjoy such changes and compare them to your own heart. These works are designed to give people a chance to take a breath in their daily lives.
