Oshie is a traditional Japanese craft that has been practiced since the Muromachi period (1333-1573), and KAKI creates works with a modern twist. Oshie, a type of clothwork, uses rice powder called kanbai-ko for glue. The technique involves wrapping individual parts in cloth and combining them to create a beautiful whole. The traditional Japanese folk costume is the kimono, which is made by cutting fabric into straight lines and sewing them together. The kimono is made with the oshie technique and expressed in a modern artistic way using traditional fabrics such as kinran cloth (a gorgeous cherry blossom pattern) and "kanoko weaving". The use of cloth gives the kimono a realistic and three-dimensional appearance. Handmade paper and sumi ink are used, and gold is used to create a gorgeous atmosphere. The support is a wooden panel made of linden veneer, a mixed media work. I created this work to deliver a Japanese taste to people who love Japan.
