This is a beautiful artwork, made in the traditional Japanese style Kiri-e.
The design a beautiful anime girl in traditional Japanese clothes with a backdrop of a lake with water lilies. It's a dynamic and very interesting composition, that I really like. The gaze of the girl is really mesmerizing.
Original design: Unknown Artist
The artwork is cut out of black paper glued on a beige cardboard. The colored parts are made with handmade hand painted washi paper and chiyogami paper.
In the lower right corner of the artwork you can see my personal signature stamp.
The frames I usually use for my artworks are standard IKEA frames, that are easy to find and match with other artworks in the household, and I can count on the same high quality every time.

Kiri-e is the Japanese art of creating artwork by cutting from a single piece of paper. It was brought from China in the Middle Ages and started as a way to make stencils for yukata and noren decorations (textile). Now the art has evolved and different contemporary artists search for their own way to create Kiri-e.

I found out about Kiri-e in 2012 and I've been in love with it ever since. Japan and everything Japanese is a big inspiration for me - starting from anime and manga and going from there to all traditional Japanese arts and symbols. Several years ago I started using colored Japanese papers - handmade washi and patterned chiyogami (yuzen) because I think they make my works 2024 more detailed and beautiful.
