Washi Mountain w/ Gold leaf Print

From my "Mountains in 'Washi' series. I had some Japanese handmade 'Washi' paper infused with Gold leaf I wanted to present in a very important way. The foreground is where it found a home. In Japan Washi (wa-meaning Japanese and shi -meaning paper) is an art form in itself so... I create art with art. Japan was introduced to paper making in the 7th Century. Since, they have taken it to an Art form. My and my Mother's Artwork honors the Traditional and promotes the sustainability of the Region's Lifestyle of those wonderful people that have been creating Washi for over 20 Generations! Satoyama - "Living in Harmony with Nature" In the Legend, The Paper deity (Kawakami Gozen) advised the residents, when farmland was scarce, to use their clean and pure water to make paper. They thanked the Goddess for this and built a Shrine to venerate her called the Okamoto Shrine on the Okamoto River. At one time, reserved for only the most privileged, Washi became available for all in the post-war years.
