Wataru Hatano / KOGEI
Area:Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture
Material:Washi (Japanese paper)
Hatano Wataru's KOGEI works such as trays and paper boxes
make you feel the comfort of a living space there is Japanese paper is.
Visited Mr. Hatano's atelier, he talked about his thoughts on washi enthusiastically.
It was his hope that many people would use washi
to reaffirm the excellence of washi,
the consumption of which had drastically decreased.
Washi paper was used to cover the atelier, the floor, walls, dining table,
and even the rainwater drainage pipes in Mr. Hatano's home!
Because the comfort of soft light through the shoji screens which I had taken for granted,
is no longer the norm, please enjoy a peaceful comfort time with Washi through his work.
