so confining yourself to just the size of a leaf and using that as your canvas, must be so difficult,
all photographs Lito, above a ukiyo-e inspired piece titled “Thirty-six views of Mt.
Fuji: The Great Wave off Kanagawa.” these are the work of a 37-year old Japanese artist who goes by the name Lito who has
been living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when he
discovered the Japanese art of kirie (切り絵, literally ‘cut picture’) after trying
paper cutting he focused on leaves,
“A small world where everyone helps each other”
“I came to meet this scenery again this fall”
“The star where you were born〜Scorpio〜”
“A little autumn concert is going to start soon” he is interviewed here, about his art, following the standard kirie practice, each piece is always cut from a single
leaf, but Lito always leaves traces of the leaf’s midrib, If you would like to see the artist’s work up-close,
he’s having an exhibition at Daimaru
department store in Kobe from 11/30 – 12/11/2023 where you can even
purchase select works, He also has a variety of negajo (new years cards) that
you can order
online and send, also you can keep up with Lito’s work on Instagram and Twitter, I have to say it, they
all look so perfect.
