I would like to talk today about the Japanese paper artist Michihiro Sato. Born in 1961 and based in Takasaki he creates delicate, finely crafted jewelry from recycled paper. In his work he explores the aspects of fragility and the worry and pleasure of change.
He lives and works in a traditional Japanese house and says about it: “I think this place is so beautiful that I feel materials and myself at every step. In other words, here is the place where I feel environment including myself fragile.”
Each piece has layers of carefully carved out and colored paper. The shapes of his brooches, rings and pendants remind on seeds or buds just before they open and blossom. Sato finds a way to create a momentary look into the most fragile and most beautiful creations of nature which are part of constant change.
