友禅染めは米糠を蒸して作った糊を防染に用いる伝統技法です。型を用いずに手描きで筒から糊を絞り出して模様を表す、世界的にも珍しい手法です。
近年は、江戸時代の着物の模様帳「ひながた本」から着想し、東海道五十三次の宿場町をスケッチに訪ねた「東海道ひいながた」などを制作しています。

Yu-zen dyeing is a traditional Japanese technique that involves applying steamed rice paste to create masking on silk.
This distinctive method allows for the manual application of rice paste without relying on stencils, making it unique in its approach.

My ongoing project, the “Hinagata series,” draws inspiration from the Edo period’s “Hinagata” and includes remakes of “53 Stations of the Tokaido”. My intention is to incorporate Ukiyo-e’s humor in depicting social conditions. In the project of remaking “53 Stations of the Tokaido” , by visiting the original Ukiyo-e locations and comparing them with the prints, I aim to capture the evolving landscapes of cities with small populations, uncertain of their appearance half a century from now. The theme of my work is to document the changing sceneries.
