This unique art form called Chigirie consists of tearing and cutting handmade Japanese paper into pieces to form a picture onto artist canvas. Although it has the look of watercolor, acrylic, or oil paint, NO PAINT is used in creating the picture, thereby calling it “Painting With Paper”. All sides of the canvas are completely finished and wrapped with the papermaking framing unnecessary. When completed, it is sealed with varnish or resin. Recently resin and acrylic art has been added to the collection. paintingwithpaper.net   Facebook
