At the opening ceremony, Kozo Igarashi, a Japanese master of washi-making, was invited to perform Suminagashi paper marbling on the spot. With brushes, dye and a tub of water, Igarashi first created patterns on the surface of the water, then transferred the pattern onto a piece of washi paper.
The exhibition is hosted by ZENA, an online lifestyle platform, which is committed to disseminate Eastern aesthetics through art exhibitions, online courses and publishing.
Apart from the ongoing exhibition, ZENA plans to launch a series of exhibitions this year, ranging from lacquerware and metalworking to the works of emerging designers from China, Japan and South Korea.
