Marvel at the natural beauty of Friendship Chigiri-e, a selection of works by centenarian Japanese artist Yuki Kohyama. This exhibition showcases the delicate charm of Chigiri-e, a traditional Japanese art form that uses torn handmade paper to create painterly-inspired collage compositions. The word Chigiri-e comes from the Japanese words chigiru (to tear) and e (picture), highlighting the unique technique of carefully layering pieces of colored washi or rice paper, instead of using dense paint or rough brush strokes. The results are stunning artworks with rich texture, subtle gradations, and a softness that often resembles watercolor.
Rooted in themes of nature, harmony, and impermanence, Chigiri-e captures fleeting moments—blooming flowers, shifting landscapes, tender animals—and preserves them in the timeless beauty of handmade paper.
About the Artist
Yuki Kohyama was born in 1923 in the city of Iga in the Mie Prefecture of Japan. Raised in a family of Japanese rice farmers, she grew up surrounded by nature and seasonal rhythms of rural life. At 75-years-old, she began exploring the intricate technique of Chigiri-e, developing a personal style centered on nature, including flowers, fruits, vegetables, landscapes, and animals. Kohyama continues to work with colored rice paper as her preferred medium. She is the author of a self-published autobiography titled Iga to koga ni ikite, translated in English as Having Lived in Both Cities of Iga and Koga.
