Yoshita\'s work
How to make
1. Creating the framework of the work
Make a frame with wire.
It is fleshed out with washi paper or pulp paper, and then clay is used to create detailed expressions, and once it dries, washi paper is pasted on top.
2. Formation using Japanese paper
The washi paper is cut, torn, rolled, made into koyori (lines), and variously crafted parts are attached one by one to give it a shape.
3.Coating
Mix gofun (white powder from seashells) with glue (animal collagen), apply water or a solution of hot water, wipe it off (several times), and when dry, rub the wax (on the candle) to give it a light shine.
Glue (glue, candy-colored stick) is boiled in hot water to dissolve it and soaked into washi paper. (This will be Japanese paper with wrinkles.)
4.Modeling installation and production
I loosened the paper string slightly and painted it to create the shape.
5.Fixing to the foundation
Find a natural tree (in the case of a dragon, it represents the movement of clouds or water) in the mountains and polish it with wax to attach the dragon. Fire the paulownia wood board and attach it.
Yoshita\'s works are created by walking around Japan\'s rich natural countryside and using the best craftsmanship and materials to inspire his creativity.
Perfect for any art lover, this sculpture is a must-have addition to any collection.

I love nature, and when I walk in the mountains, I am moved by the sight of the leaves on the trees, the sounds of birds chirping, and the various sounds of nature. I would like to create a connection with nature in my daily life.
I would be happy if you could feel nature and the breath of living things through my works.
