Wataru Hatano began creating works primarily using Washi (Japanese paper) after completing his apprenticeship in papermaking in Ayabe, Kyoto—the home of "Kurotani Washi."
Driven by a profound desire for more people to discover the allure of Washi, he creates art and crafts while also proposing ways to incorporate Washi into interior spaces.
By layering Washi with natural materials such as soil and pigments, he creates an expression of profound depth that feels as if it has captured the very passage of time. The shadows and textures created by these overlapping materials shift in impression depending on the light and where they are placed, lending a quiet presence to the space.
This is a piece where the inherent warmth of Washi merges with a contemporary artistic sensibility. Whether as an accent for your room or integrated into either Japanese or Western-style interiors, these works blend in naturally and can be cherished for many years to come.
