Colorful 3D Paper Art Brings Animals to Life

Animals that seem to speak through kind eyes and humorous expressions are crafted by Miho Akiyama, an artist who brings animals to life in 3D form using paper. Her free-flowing, imaginative and richly colored work has a charm that immediately soothes and relaxes. As an educator, Akiyama also engages in activities that convey paper’s appeal to people of all ages in an easy and accessible way. We visited Akiyama in her studio in Hyogo Prefecture to hear her thoughts on the essence of paper as a material in both art and education.
